Program vs. Project Management

• A Program is a group of the

same type of projects.

• Focused on achieving objective

and benefits of the integrated

program.

• Program managers work with

Project managers to make sure

deliverables = value to

stakeholder.

Another way to look at it

What makes a good Program Manager?

• Millennials seek a grand sense of purpose in

their work

• Project professionals struggle to recruit and

retain young professionals

• This is causing increased demand and

therefore the cost to hire a project manager

The Millennial Impact

Recruiting and Retaining Millennials

• Offer long-term opportunities

• Help them connect a sense of greater

purpose to work they do

• Encourage an environment of open and

face-to-face communication – even if its

via Google Hangout or Skype

• Be open to a flexible work environment –

Millennials are very tech savvy and have a

hard time sitting in cubical from 9 to 5 if

they can do the same work from home.
