Program Management versus the Project Management Office (PMO)

Project Management
It is sometimes a PMP exam question to know the difference between a PMO and Program Management.

Personally, I see requests from recruiters regularly for qualified project managers, oftentimes with minimal work experience. These requests even have cash rewards for recommending and…
