The Programme Management Portfolio - APM Group Accredited MSP® Training  

This workshop is designed to give delegates a basic understanding of the processes, components and techniques of the OGC methodology, Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®). On the last day, delegates will undertake the OGC MSP® Foundation examination.

Pre-requisites
Delegates should have a good understanding of project management and a basis awareness of the principles of Programme Management.

Objectives

Attendance on this workshop will enable delegates to:

• Develop a basic understanding of the components, processes, products and techniques of MSP®
• Have confidence and competence to help with and support the method in the live environment
• Develop their knowledge of the material and undertake the MSP® Foundation examination.

At the end of the workshop, the delegate will be able to:

• Comprehend the fundamentals of using and tailoring MSP®
• Navigate the MSP® material to maximise its usage as a working tool in the live environment.

The MSP® Foundation examination is included within the course timetable. This is marked immediately by the Tutor - you will leave the course with your results. 

Format
This is an introductory workshop providing realistic and practical skills consolidation. 

The format of the event is highly interactive and designed to present the information in memorable, manageable segments. Through the use of exercises which mimic the Foundation examination format, delegates will be given full opportunity to test their understanding of MSP®.

Like the OGC PRINCE2® Project Management standard, MSP® is designed to be implemented in a tailored fashion. Any organisation or individual seeing the need for a controlled approach to managing its programmes will benefit from an understanding of the MSP® methodology.

Delegates will be provided with comprehensive supporting material.

Pre-course Work
All delegates should complete the pre-course questions provided by NES AIM Academy, and have read the MSP® Manual. This will involve a minimum of 6 hours pre-course study.

• Organisation of programme management
• Programme management principles
• Governance themes
• Risk management
• The transformation flow
