What you will learn

Project Management Offices (PMOs) exist in many shapes and sizes and exert differing levels of authority. As a result, it is imperative that an organization structures and designs the PMO to benefit the delivery of projects—not by adding unnecessary bureaucratic processes.

The design of this course is structured to allow students to not only understand the fundamental concepts, benefits, and processes of the PMO, but also enables them to become familiar with relevant tools and techniques for optimizing a PMO—that aligns with the needs of their organization.

Topics areas include:

Project Definition	Project Dependencies
Portfolio Management	Project Prioritization and Time Management
Portfolio Risk Management	Project Reporting and Communications
Cross-Project Controls	Schedule and Cost Analysis

Who should attend

The course will benefit PMO leaders, senior project managers, and executives responsible for project delivery success.
