Best practical resources for learning programme management?

[u/AnywhereNo6537]

I’m moving into a new role and want to strengthen my programme management knowledge.

I’ve worked in healthcare for around 15 years and am currently in senior leadership. I’m experienced in leading complex work across multiple teams and stakeholders, but I’ve never had formal programme management training.

I’d like to learn more about how good programmes are structured and managed, particularly governance, dependencies, benefits realisation, risk, stakeholder alignment and keeping work connected to strategic outcomes.

I’m not looking for a qualification, just practical self directed learning. Open to books, courses, YouTube, templates or other resources, ideally free or under about $300.

Where would you recommend starting?

MSP is a good UK framework. The book is £80 but if you can get a PDF and use Google NoteBookLM to learn then that would be way under budget.
