Duration: 
1 hour

Most organizations have at least entertained the idea of creating a Project Management Office (PMO), if not created and subsequently dismantled one.  In this one-hour webinar, we will explore the value of a PMO, options for organizing and staffing one, as well as how to sell the idea to management.  For those already living in a PMO, you'll get real-world advise about proving your value and getting the respect in the organization that you deserve.  This session will offer executives considering a PMO, as well as PMO managers and staff tactical approaches to create a PMO that will improve project results and pay for itself in project efficiencies and successes.

  • Building a strong business case for a PMO
  • The PMO lifecyle

  • Structures, forms and roles of successful PMOs
  • The Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3)
