PMO Setup and Operation for Non-Specialists
Project Management|2 days|Classroom or live online
PMO Setup and Operation for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through scope definition and work breakdown structure without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because organisations run more projects than they have capacity to govern, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with agile and scrum practice, benefits realisation and portfolio prioritisation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about agile and scrum practice without waiting for a specialist, measured against agile delivery practice
- Take ownership of benefits realisation rather than escalating it
- Review portfolio prioritisation and say plainly whether it is working
- Improve cost estimation within their own organisation
