Duration Audience : 6 days x 6 hours (36 PDUs) : Personnel involved with managing programs / PMO Personnel / Executives who are aiming to implement a PMO

Introduction:

The terms program and program management have been in widespread use for some time and have come to mean many different things. In 2006, the Project Management Institute (PMI) issued it new book " The Standard for Program Management" to set a common language among the industry on the terms, definitions, processes and best practices related to program management. This course is based on this standard. On the other hand, the Project/Program Management Office (PMO) is one of the fastest growing concepts in project world today, as it is key to effective implementation of project management across the organization. PMOs come in varying shapes and sizes, from simple support offices to full centers of excellence. This course will enable you to anticipate as well as answer the questions associated with the creation of a PMO. Youll review the full complement of potential PMO function understand which match your organizations needs. Youll consider options and select a PMO structure be properly aligned within your organization.
Outcome At the completion of this course the trainee will be able to:

Learn about "The Standard for Program Management" as an expansion of information provided in A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK_ Guide). Recognize the guidelines for managing programs within an organization. Define program management and related concepts, describes the program management life cycle. Learn the program management processes that generally accepted as the necessary steps to successfully manage a program. Identify Project/Program Management Office (PMO) capability based on an established maturity capability model (OPM3) Determine the appropriate PMO structure for your organization Determine what PMO functions are needed based on project management support required Recognize and overcome barriers related to PMO implementation Translate requirements for PMO functionality into distinct roles and responsibilities of PMO
