PMO Essentials

This dynamic and practical training provides a logical model for setting up a Project Management Office (PMO) and using the PMO to deploy project management methodologies in any business industry. Learn principles and techniques to select projects and programmes to add value and meet the organisation’s strategic objectives.

What does a Project Management Office do?

A PMO is a group inside an organisation that sets, maintains, and upholds project management best practices. The PMO is often a centralised management hub for all projects in the organisation to increase project efficiencies and strategic alignment. The PMO is gaining popularity across various industries worldwide as stakeholders and decision-makers realise its importance. Research indicates that the median salary for Project Management Officers in Ireland is €130,065 [1]. This course will give you a fundamental knowledge of the requirements to set up a PMO and a comprehensive understanding of the types, roles, governance, and operational processes within it. Get the tools and resources you need to achieve a higher level of project, programme and portfolio management maturity to deliver lasting results.

What will I learn?

This course uses practical exercises and case studies to help you learn how to improve organisational strategic alignment and deliver on your objectives by focusing on “doing the right projects and doing them the right way”.

The caliber of lecturers is very high and the course content, material and delivery are excellent. I’ve taken the PMP preparation course and passed on the 1st attempt. The Diploma in Strategic Project & Programme Management was equally excellent with relevant use cases, course work, and high quality lectures over a diverse range of topics.

I’d highly recommend the Institute of Project Management. I’ve been working in Tech for 8 years now and the Agile Project Management class turned into a huge unlock for me, it was the way our dev teams have been doing business and the environment we work in the entire time. I look forward to getting my next PM credential from you.
