Description

The Project/Program Management Office (PMO) is one of the fastest growing concepts in project management today, as it is key to effective implementation of project management across the organization. Effective PMOs come in varying shapes and sizes, from simple support offices to full centers of excellence. This course will enable you to anticipate as well as answer the questions associated with the creation of a PMO, from benefits to barriers to alignment with strategic business objectives and to develop the framework for a successful implementation.

In a highly interactive classroom environment, you’ll learn a common frame of reference to project management and related PMO concepts and activities. You’ll review the full complement of potential PMO functions so as to understand which match your organization’s needs. You’ll consider options and select a PMO structure that can be properly aligned within your organization. Working with fellow project managers, you’ll discuss your experiences and concerns in context with industry practices as you develop your own plan.
