Upcoming Events


Saturday Workshop: May 25, 2013
The PMO: What Is It, How Do I Deal With It, and Why Does It Keep Changing?
Presenters: Jane Connor & Steven Peck

Registration is open.

The Project/Program/Portfolio Management office business functions is ubiquitous today and in some organizations exist as communities of PMOs. Yet the average life of a PMO is 2 years before a major transformation occurs to it. To the project manager focusing on project delivery, the various PMOs can be a challenge to interact with. Yet a common objective of most PMOs it to improve project delivery and support PMs. This session will discuss the common types of PMOs and their roles seen in most large organizations. The session will then discuss the emergence of the PMO as a business function as opposed to an interim measure to track a program. Recent research and trends seen by the speakers in this field will be shared.
