Course Information

Introduction

Today’s ever-changing business environment requires new approaches to Project Management, which has become an important tool for dealing with time-to-market, resources, limitations, downsizing, and global competition.
Recently, there is an emerging awareness that project management must be controlled at the level of organizations, not individuals.
Recognizing this, there has recently been a boom in a type of department called a project / program management office (PMO) which is considered a key for effective implementation of project management across the organization.
Effective PMOs come in varying shapes and sizes, from simple support offices to full centres of excellence.
The goal of PMO is not to establish controls for the sake of controls, but to help project managers and project teams deliver value.
This course will enable the participants 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.
The participants learn common frame of reference to project management and related PMO concepts and activities, review the full complement of potential PMO functions so as to understand which match their organization’s needs, consider options and select a PMO structure that can be properly aligned within their organization.

At the end of this course trainees will be able to:
• Identify Project/Program Management Office (PMO) capability based on an established competency continuum model.
