Providing PMOs and individuals with a blueprint of what a good PMO manager does
Essentials for PMO Managers is a comprehensive three-day course, which explains what is expected of PMO managers and how to excel in this role.
This course is part of a suite of certifications, that the House of PMO is developing in conjunction with APMG International. These four training courses target the various stages in a PMO practitioner’s career and include Essentials for PMO Administrators, Essentials for PMO Analysts, Essentials for PMO Managers, and Essentials for PMO Directors which is also launching this month.
These practical courses focus on how to perform key roles within a PMO.
Lindsay Scott, co-founder of House of PMO said,
“The PMO Manager is an important role, whose responsibilities including setting up, running and transforming PMOs. As a professional body we want to ensure that there is practical training available that helps practitioners manage and lead their PMOs in line with best practice”
Richard Pharro, APMG International CEO, commented,
“There are numerous research reports which highlight wasted investment due to poor project performance. A high performing PMO adds value to an organisation through closer scrutiny of investment proposals, ensuring those that proceed are based on a sound business case with realistic benefits and that clear tracking of project performance is in place. The PMO Manager is an essential role in delivering these benefits while building strong relationships with delivery and operational teams to facilitate the smooth transfer of the completed asset from the project team into operations, so the benefits can be realised. I believe qualified PMO managers will be in demand as more organisations embrace the project driven economy and have no choice but to deliver projects better”
The Essentials for PMO Managers Training courses and certification are immediately available through PMO Learning and will be available through additional Accredited Training Providers in the coming months.
Further information about the course which launched today, can be found on the Essentials for PMO Managers product page.
