Training Course Goals
Our one day P3O Overview course provides a basic insight into the Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O) model.
Our P3O Foundation certification course will provide you with fundamental knowledge of the Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O) model. The purpose of this model is to provide universally applicable guidance, including principles, process, and techniques, which will enable individuals and organisations to successfully establish, develop and maintain appropriate support structures, usually called simply the "Project Management Office (PMO)". At the end of the course students (can) sit the official P3O Foundation certification exam.
The P3O Foundation can be followed by the P3O Practitioner course, which focuses on practical application of the knowledge gained, and on preparing students for the P3O Practitioner certification exam.
The main functions of a P3O/ PMO in an organisation are to facilitate:
- Informing senior management's decision making on prioritisation, risk management and development of resources across the organisation to successfully deliver their business objectives (portfolio management)
- Identification and realisation of outcomes and benefits via programmes and projects
- Delivery of programmes and projects within time, cost, quality and other organisational constraints.
The training is aimed at giving delegates an understanding of the philosophy behind the P3O model and preparing them for the P3O Foundation (& Practitioner) certification exam(s), which they sit at the end of each of the same name courses.
