The Project Management Podcast - 30 Years of Program Management | Episode 170

https://www.pm-podcast.com/170. What would you say is the single biggest change that has occurred in the area of Program Management between 1981 and now? Did it make a difference if you had a PM certification in 1981 and wanted to get a program management job versus today? What skills did a program manager need in 1981 then and today? Well... if you think that these are some more questions out of Jeff Furmans "Project Management Answer Book" that we discussed in our last episode, then you'd be... wrong. Instead, these are the questions that I asked Scotty Bates. Scotty currently works for Robbins-Gioia (www.teamrg.com) and he has been actively involved in project and in particular program management for the last 30 years. So let's look at what these changes are and learn how they influence how much better (or worse) we manage programs today.
