ESI Webinar - Establishing A PMO: Readiness, Risk and Retention

Presented by: James Foreman, PMP

Duration: 1 hour

PDUs: 1.0

In order to ensure project value and financial responsibility, organizations are looking to improvement programs that involve the creation of a Project Management Office (PMO).   But, before you embark on this mission there are many things to consider. Is your organization ready to manage a PMO?  Does your organization have the infrastructure to support a PMO?  What are the risks associated with the development of a PMO?  And how do you ensure that the PMO becomes valued as the governing entity for projects within your organization?

Using client real-world experiences, research and case studies, the presenter will identify what it takes to establish a PMO, the pitfalls to avoid and how to ensure that the PMO contributes to the organization’s success.

Key learning points:

1. Understand organizational readiness
2. Identify potential risks
3. Develop an evolutionary plan for the PMO

*The Project Management Institute requires that a PMP®/PgMP® earn 60 Professional Development Units (PDUs) every three years in order to maintain certification. More Information on PDUs.
