About This Course
Let’s talk about the PMO. The Project (or Program, Portfolio, Process, Policy, etc.) Management Office is one of the most controversial and misunderstood project-related organizational functions we’ve come to know in our careers. We have a hard time articulating and agreeing on the focus, function and purpose of the PMO including the role it plays, the scope of the PMO once it’s established, or even its name. The most critical challenge is finding the right organizational home for the PMO, leading most to simply follow common practice which inevitably starts another PMO failure cycle.
Through PMI Fellow, Eric Norman’s, vast experience, you’ll examine what differentiates successful PMOs from those that fail. This course covers many of the challenges organizations face when establishing a PMO, common practices that lead to failure, and those characteristics of an effective, value-driven PMO. You’ll learn new concepts for the PMO designed to break the failure cycle and transform your organizational construct to position the PMO for success. Earn 2 Business Acumen PDUs, improve your PMO effectiveness, and start delivering real-value to your organization today.
This course is available in the PDU Passport, our all-access pass to every InSite PDU course.
