Content Focus Focusing on the Project Management Office and how to perform and succeed in an environment that is becoming more and more Agile.
About the Program Does an Agile PMO really exist? Can it? How would it work?
This workshop will answer these questions and bring together two seemingly opposing concepts. We’ll go back to basics to understand the fundamental purpose of PMOs, and how they benefit projects and organizations.
Once we recognize the overall mission and vision of an Agile PMO, we will construct a PMO Charter that will show how it adds value.
You will come away from the workshop knowing how to successfully design an Agile PMO and how to gain buy-in for such a critical function.
This course also supports learning requirements for Agile and Scrum certifications from various organizations such as PMI-ACP, PSM I, and PSPO I.
