What is the Pragmatic Cross-Functional Program Management course about?
Programs fail not because of technical shortcomings, but because of execution gaps between functions. Traditional project management doesn’t address the nuances of regulated workflows, where documentation, review cycles, and approval gates span departments with different priorities and rhythms. Without a shared operating model, delays accumulate quietly until they surface as compliance exposure or missed milestones.
