What is the Practical Cross-Functional Program Management course about?

Managing programs across multiple locations introduces complexity in execution, visibility, and accountability. Without a unified cross-functional approach, teams default to local optimization, creating handoff delays, compliance gaps, and stakeholder confusion. Leaders are expected to deliver consistently across sites, yet lack standardized methods to scale coordination effectively.
