Overview
About the program
For technical staff who now manage teams, projects or budgets. You study how to plan, fund and govern technology so it serves the business.
The Technology Management program is designed for people who already work in the field. It covers technology strategy, managing innovation, IT governance and risk, project and portfolio management, digital transformation, and ends with technology finance.
Like every Madison program, it is built for working adults. Courses you already master through your work are tested and recorded with a grade; the rest you study online, at your own pace, with tasks carried out in your own workplace.
In preparation. This program is not open for enrollment yet. It opens when its curriculum and courses are in place on the learning platform.
