FAQ

Hva er MSP?
MSP står for Managing Successful Programmes og er et rammeverk for programstyring. Det hjelper organisasjoner med å koordinere prosjekter og endringsaktiviteter for å oppnå strategiske mål og realisere ønskede gevinster.

Hva er forskjellen på Foundation og Practitioner?
Foundation fokuserer på forståelsen av MSP, inkludert sentrale begreper, prinsipper, temaer og prosesser. Practitioner bygger videre på dette og fokuserer på hvordan MSP anvendes og tilpasses i konkrete programsituasjoner.

Trenger jeg MSP Foundation før jeg tar dette kurset?
Nei. Dette er et kombinert kurs hvor du gjennomfører både Foundation- og Practitioner-nivået. Foundation må imidlertid være bestått før du kan kvalifisere deg til Practitioner-eksamen.

Er begge eksamenene inkludert i kursprisen?
Ja, kurset inkluderer sertifiseringstestene. Du får også én gratis ny eksamensmulighet på nett dersom du ikke består på første forsøk.

Hvem passer det kombinerte MSP-kurset for?
Kurset passer blant annet for programledere, prosjektledere, endringsledere, PMO-medarbeidere og andre som er involvert i utvikling og gjennomføring av programmer.

Kan jeg ta Foundation og Practitioner separat?
Ja. Glasspaper tilbyr både MSP® 5th Edition Foundation og MSP® Practitioner 5th Edition som separate kurs.
