MSP® (Managing Successful Programmes) is the non-proprietary best practice model from the same stable as PRINCE2®, although it is a natural companion to any Project Management methodology.
It ensures programme delivery is on time, on budget, of high quality, and delivers the benefits demanded by the business investment.

Course Structure

This comprehensive 5 day course provides participants with an extended theoretical and practical knowledge of MSP® and prepares participants to take the MSP® Foundation Exam on Day 3 and the MSP® Practitioner Exam on Day 5.
The course is facilitator led by an experienced programme manager, and participants undertake practical activities to ensure understanding of concepts and terminology. Self-study is required for the exam.
