About the Program Management test

Hiring a highly skilled program manager can help your business succeed through the effective management of projects, resources, and finances. An excellent program manager will play a crucial role in driving project completion, meeting business objectives, and achieving organizational growth.

This Program Management test evaluates candidates' ability to manage all aspects of a program's lifecycle, including planning, execution, control, and closure. It tests their skills in managing dependencies, avoiding risks, and communicating effectively with stakeholders. The test also covers candidates' abilities to manage program scope, balance program goals and operational needs, and enable career growth for team members.

This screening test will help you identify program managers with a strong understanding of program management concepts and real-world experience. They will be able to manage all lifecycle-related activities for a program, ensuring that work is on track and necessary actions are taken to achieve the program's objectives. Candidates who perform well on this test will be able to manage all internal and external stakeholders involved in the program, collaborate effectively for program success, and manage financial and resource-related aspects of a program. They will also be able to define key metrics for the program, manage the budget, and report on key metrics, increasing customer satisfaction, driving innovation, and enhancing the organization's reputation and competitive edge.

What our customers are saying

TestGorilla helps me to assess engineers rapidly. Creating assessments for different positions is easy due to pre-existing templates. You can create an assessment in less than 2 minutes. The interface is intuitive and it’s easy to visualize results per assessment.

Review from G2

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.
