If you wish to maintain your status as an MSP Registered Practitioner status, it needs to be renewed every 3-5 years after the date shown on your original certificate. If you do not take the Re-registration exam within this timeframe then you will lose your 'registered' status.
This course is intended for delegates who already hold the MSP Practitioner qualification, and who wish to re-register for a further 5 years. It provides revision of the method and gives guidance and practice in preparing for the current MSP Practitioner's Re-registration examination administered by the APM Group.
- Update your understanding of the MSP method in light of its revision in 2011
- Apply the MSP method to a given scenario in a way that demonstrates understanding and application of the method
- Use MSP processes and themes appropriately in a particular circumstance
The course relays the importance of an orderly management of change which, in a programme environment, is especially difficult to achieve. In particular, the course will focus on transition (preparing for it, enacting it and then, once it has occurred, realising benefits). A significant focus of the course is on benefits realisation: how claimed benefits must be properly tested for their validity and, if they are valid, how to make more likely the chance of them being realised.
The course will help the delegate to manage a complex change environment. Attendees will appreciate the different perspectives that are germane to risk management, how stakeholders can be identified and engaged, how to prepare for transition and how benefits should be identified and evaluated.
- Detailed review of techniques to take a programme from concept to feasibility and a Programme Brief.
- Development of future business models and planning and application to a case study.
- Steps and mechanisms used to enable the programme to flex to external events and keep the programme under control.
- Application of steps and activities required to take the capabilities delivered by the projects to release the benefits.

- Design an organisational structure for a programme, identifying responsibilities and additional roles that could be required.
- Establishing a viable Vision on which the programme should be based, and developing an optimal end game Blueprint that steers the programme.

- Define the contents of a Programme Plan and identify how the programme will be controlled, with associated responsibilities and tools.
