What is it about?

P3O supports and is aligned to PRINCE2®, MSP®, M_o_R® and MoP®. It brings together a set of principles, processes and techniques to help the project management office (PMO) provide a balanced portfolio of change and ensure consistent delivery of projects and programmes across the business.

It provides a centre of excellence for the organization which includes the setting of standards. It is a flexible approach to supporting, controlling and assuring change initiatives because “one-size does not fit all” and your version of a P3O must be matched to your organizations situation and needs.

Delegates receive the following:

• Accredited course material

• Training by one of our accredited PeopleCert facilitators.
• An internationally accredited e-certificate upon successful completion of the exam.

The course is delivered with a blend of classroom training interventions and practical syndicate and individual sessions. Evening work is also required during the course.
