At the senior level, the financial picture isn't one project's budget; it's a whole program's, with cost and risk spread across related efforts and stretched across the system's full life. FPM 333 builds the command to manage that — the business-enterprise side of leading complex projects and larger, collective programs. You'll evaluate earned value management (EVM) data at the program level and make real program-adjustment decisions from it, weigh risk-management strategies on their merits and translate them into program-level changes to financial plans and cost-benefit analyses, and manage cost and financial risk inside the broader Total Life-Cycle Systems Management (TLCSM) view of the program. You'll also build the senior-level financial capabilities the role demands: presenting and defending a business case in front of program stakeholders, integrating agency financial policies and directives into how the program runs, and directing financial planning while accounting for the risks that come with it. You won't just track a program's finances — you'll steer them, and understand why a small variance caught early is worth more than any explanation offered late.
A note on certification paths: This course is one of the four FPM 331–334 courses that together meet FAC-P/PM Senior-Level training. Senior-level certification also calls for significant project/program management experience. Because requirements vary by agency, check with your Acquisition Career Manager (ACM) to confirm what your agency requires before you build your certification plan.
Whether you take it for certification or not — this is a great way to earn CLPs while building genuinely valuable, immediately usable project management skills. Solid knowledge, real CLP credit, and practical tools and information to make you better at your job.
Format: 3 days / 24 CLPs. Classroom or virtual.
Pricing is set per engagement. Contact Phoenix Canyon to request a quote.
