PgMP (Program Management Professional) Certification - Book reference

Information Technology Stakeholder Management Strategy

Faisal D.F Dell Inc Hyderabad, Ap, India

Hey PMs,

I'm interested in doing PgMP (Program Management Professional).. Which is the best book for reference? I'm looking at a book much like Rita Mulcahy's PMP Exam prep / Mike Griffith's book on PMI ACP Exam. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have met people who've said that they are stuck in a PMP certification, unable to move up. PgMP is the logical solution - it's the next step

Hi Faisal. Also, please check books by Dr Ginger Levin. I used this along with the one mentioned in one of the above posts. You must study the Standard as the primary reference. Also check www.vcareprojectmanagement.com

Hi Faisal, My books based on SPM 4th Edition are ready and available to purchase. You can consider my following books -

1. Complete Reference Guide for PgMP 5th Edition
2. PgMP Challenger - Question Bank
3. PgMP Pathfinder

The best way to prepare for your PgMP is by joining my Bootcamp, Personal or Group Mentoring Program. I am starting my next Group Mentoring program from 16th June. Please let me know if you want more information.
