Besides the MSP 5th® Edition Foundation Courseware - English publication you are advised to obtain the corresponding publication Managing Successful Programmes 5th edition (ISBN: 9780113316762).
This 5th edition will help current and aspiring programme managers, and many other roles, to design, plan, lead and deliver their programmes and thus help organizations be successful.
Programme management is recognized as an approach that brings together multiple projects and other work associated with delivering outcomes of benefit across organizational boundaries. The programme management approach shows organizations how to adopt appropriate governance, pace, and focus to enable them to move ahead.
MSP 5th describes an adaptable set of programme management approaches, leading to the creation of outcomes of benefit in an incremental way and to provide an integrated framework that guides the work. MPS 5th applies three lenses:
? Principles are the guiding obligations to achieve Value
? Themes are the essential governance, documented in Approaches
? Processes are a structured set of activities, showing how themes are applied in the programme (cyclical) lifecycle.
Value proposition: MSP is the certification and guidance for programme managers, business change managers and the next step for project managers to develop their knowledge and skills to be able to positively respond to the challenges they face when managing programmes and larger, more strategic or multiple projects.
Programme management using MSP creates a framework that enables the organization to align the delivery of programmes and projects to organizational strategy; and to focus on the delivery of outcomes and benefits, while mitigating risks and actively engaging stakeholders at all levels.
MSP can be used in conjunction with all the other best-practice products (e.g. PRINCE2®, MoP®, M_o_R®) and international or internal organizational standards (for governance).
The MSP Foundation Certification is suitable for individuals wanting to demonstrate they have achieved sufficient understanding of the theory of the MSP methodology.
