This course provides mid-level federal program and project managers with the advanced skills and strategies needed to manage complex, multi-dimensional projects within the federal environment. It begins by examining the federal acquisition process and the critical planning documents that guide program success. Building on foundational project management knowledge, participants deepen their understanding of requirements development and learn how to effectively manage evolving requirements throughout a project’s life cycle. The course also introduces systems engineering principles and technical management tools that enable program managers to integrate cost, schedule, and performance objectives into a cohesive management approach.

Emphasizing practical application, the course explores test and evaluation as a key decision-making tool to confirm that solutions meet both requirements and performance standards. Participants also examine total life-cycle systems management strategies, including logistics, sustainment, and post-deployment considerations that ensure long-term mission success. Through collaborative discussions, scenario-based exercises, and real-world applications, learners translate theory into actionable insights. By the end of the course, each participant develops a personalized on-the-job action plan to apply newly gained systems management and analytical skills to current or future federal projects.
