for program management policy and strategy across the agency

to align agency approaches across the federal government

input and research that demonstrates that organizations that invest in
program management talent and standards improve outcomes,
accountability and efficiency”
• “Findings demonstrated by PMI’s Pulse of the Profession® report also
indicate that standardized approaches, engaged executive sponsors
and certified professionals are building blocks to all organizations
achieving their highest levels of performance”
