In 2018 a Private equity firm with multiple subsidiaries and divisions greenlighted a project to replace their existing Risk Management System. With a focus on Project Management (PM) and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) Compliance, we were able to partner with this client and successfully complete the project!
Businesses, especially those that provide professional services, often find tremendous relief in hiring a program manager to help clients navigate these challenges.

Program Management FAQs
What is Program Management?
Program Management is an organizational function that oversees a group of individual projects linked together through a shared organizational goal or common area of impact. This programmatic grouping of multiple projects provides synergy, consistent management, and greater visibility to stakeholders than individually managed projects.
What is effective program management?
Effective program management includes three distinct types of communication: status reporting, direction setting, and problem-solving:
- Status reporting requires considerable written, verbal, and organizational communication capabilities. Program managers must deliver comprehensive yet efficient status updates to a broad audience in multiple formats with the appropriate level of detail for each project.
- Direction setting is required to inform and shape the scope and schedule of individual projects (and project managers) that roll up under their programs. Objectives and deadlines must be clear, and program managers must be willing to ask hard, probing questions to determine how projects are truly progressing.
- Problem-solving comes into play continually for program managers. When obstacles, challenges, and resistance arise (which happens quite often over the life of a program), they must be willing to dive into the details and create action plans to ensure the program isn’t put in jeopardy.
Why is program management important?
Program management enables the organization to fund, prioritize, optimize resource capacity, and manage interdependencies and conflicts. This will help your company achieve strategic organizational goals, greater transparency of project interdependencies, and more effective management of resources across different or multiple projects.
