Managing PMO Setup and Operation
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers benefits realisation and portfolio prioritisation from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because organisations run more projects than they have capacity to govern, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with critical path analysis, project initiation and scope definition in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Spot where critical path analysis is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against agile delivery practice
- Make a decision about project initiation without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of scope definition rather than escalating it
- Explain agile and scrum practice to someone who does not do the work
