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
