Great Video Emma! I love being a program manager. There is nothing like putting together the portfolio budget proposal to an organization and them coming back to you saying you are 50 percent over what they budgeted!! :)

Emma, this is the second video I watched from your channel content. Absolutely valuable, thanks. I've been a program manager for over four years now. Currently, I run a merger and acquisitions program for a multi-national. I currently have 11 projects in-flight, with about 30% coming to an end as new ones come into the pipeline. It is a wonderful career area in the whole project management universe. Edited to add: I think the PMI pricing strategy is their understanding that the PgMP is a certification for particularly senior PM professionals who, for the most part, have all, or a large part, of the test cost subsidized by their enterprise. Generally, one does not sit for the PgMP unless one is filling that role.

I wish I had this video a few months ago. The differenced between project and program managers came up on my CAPM and this video would have made it really clear with your architecture/ contractor example.

Project Manager -108k……Program Manager 126k…..Engineering Manager 150k That’s been the range in my personal trajectory the last 10 yrs (California). I’m young, so in time I should bring more I hope. No PMP, just Bachelors in Business (Project Management) and heavy electrical engineering background

Great to know this at this point... Gave me good information to consider if I even want to be a program manager :-)

Great video! I'm PMP certified and am planning on taking the PgMP certification in February next year. I passed the PgMP panel review earlier this month. The panel review took approximately 45 days before I was approved to take the exam. Eagerly looking forward to taking it!

would love to see a video comparing pfmp vs pgmp

Thanks for the awesome video, gives a clear understanding of the concept

Thanks for video. I enjoyed learning the differences between the two.

I’m early!! Thinking of being a project manager I’m currently an administrative assistant 2. Do you think that experience gives me a little bit of an advantage?

Thank you for a great video. Just that mic with lights is distracting.

Hey Emma, great video as always. I’m doing a tech series on my podcast and I was wondering if you would be interested in coming on?

Can you explain the difference between an Enterprise Project Manager vs Program Manager. Seems the R&R are blurred sometimes.

Sooo for government contracting job was offered $95K. For PM level 4 I’m FL is that way to low? I feel like it is.

Projects are Tactile?

Isn't a project manager responsible for planning too? Like in the example of architect you gave; aren't project managers responsible for making the blueprint AND following it through execution?

Theres no chance of becoming a Program manager without being a project manager first. No company will ever hire someone in this role without the required experience.

Good video

So, first of all, I'm neither a PMP or PgMP. However I'm PRINCE2 Practitioner certified, along with CSM and CSPO. I have recently been moved from Project to Program Management and got a 69% raise. I'm interested in doing the PgMP as opposed to PMP (I'm not interested in Project Management anymore). I have the years of experience required (8) BUT my University degree is a standard (UK) 3 years, however I am in my 1st year (of 2) of my MBA from a very reputable UK University. I'm a bit confused as to whether I'd get accepted.. or should I not even bother

Nice mic and cute looking girl

Bye bye project managemebt
