IPMO-P 19-23 July 2020 Live Virtual Course

IPMO-P (Practitioner) is one of the three core PMO certifications from AIPMO.  

This course covers topics of strategy formulation and execution, success factors,
success criteria, PMOs and their services, assessment of the current PMO
setups in terms of SWOT and then a roadmap to strategically design and
implement a PMO using an integrated approach to ensure PMO alignment with
organizational objectives. The content of AIPMO’s Body of Knowledge is covered
which will comprise of a series of books covering PMO Principles, Portfolio,
Program and Project Principles, PMO Techniques and Tools, PMO Services and
Capabilities, plus references to other books.

On completing the course, you will be able
to design, establish or revalue your PMO, i.e., a set of services within the
context of your organization and the projects you support. You will understand
the key PMO documentation, how to define and measure PMO performance, PMO
Success, PMO Benefits and PMO Value and link these to the latest thinking in

opportunity to find out why some PMOs might perform below expectations and learn how to improve individual and
collective PMO performance in an organization to achieve the maximum
sustainable benefits.

Pre-reading

Below the start of the course, please read the attached PDFs which give some background information that we reference and/or discuss during the course.

Please review the course slides in advance because there is a lot of detail (especially for the on-line course). You will also get far more at the course because there are likely concepts in the slides that will be new and how they are part of the AIPMO Strategic Lifecycle framework.
