Strategic Project Programme Management
Your Strategic Step in Project Management
Strategic project management is a growing trend in the business world. While traditional project management takes a project from its starting point to its end, strategic project management looks at the big picture.
The median salary for Programme Managers in Ireland is €98,680 and €105,900 for Portfolio Managers.[1] The stakes are higher than ever for project management professionals. Knowing how to set up a project plan or a tool-focused approach is no longer enough. However, the ability to respond quickly to change and act with strategic purpose requires a new set of competencies.
