Module 1: Business Driven PMO
DAY ONE - A.M.
Session 1: Business Driven PMO Setup. Instructor: Mark Price Perry
There is no surer way to invite PMO difficulties than to rush into a cookie‐cutter “people, process, tools” strategy and to “sell the PMO”—an approach still advocated by many today. This workshop first engages participants in a highly interactive session that reveals and corrects common misguided PMO strategies, while highlighting select opportunities to make your approach more agile. Perry will also present a bouquet of real‐life PMO success stories based upon his third book in the Business Driven PMO series, Business Driven PMO Success Stories (2013).
Module 2: The Agile PMO
DAY ONE - P.M.
Session 2: The Agile PMO. Instructor: Carmen Marsh
Now that agile methods are here to stay, executives are looking to PMO leaders for answers to fundamental questions: What is the agile movement all about? When does it fit for a given project, and when does it not? Even more puzzling, if agile methods encourage self-organizing teams, then how does that impact the role of a PMO, or even the role of the project manager itself? In this eye-opening session, we will sift out fact from fiction and walk away with actionable tips for evolving your PMO to support agile methods.
Module 3: The Mindful PMO
DAY TWO - A.M.
Session 3: The Mindful PMO. Instructor: Leslie Gazeley
Just as individuals are constantly caught up in the day-to-day "flow of things", swept up in the plethora of to-do lists, emails and social media feeds, so can the PMO as an organization be caught up in a similar whirlwind of demands, deadlines and corporate detritus. This session explores the concepts of expanding a mindful leadership philosophy to and within the PMO as an entity. First we focus on understanding the concepts and applications of "mindfulness" and Mindful Leadership. We then apply those principles to the PMO as an entity and explore and practice group exercises and tips for a PMO to use to create a "space" to regain singular focus and bring the organization back to the present..
Module 4: Open Space
DAY TWO - P.M.
Open Space. Instructors: Mark Price Perry, Leslie Gazeley, Carmen Marsh
Open Space Meetings are an amazingly powerful way to explore issues, discuss ideas, and achieve breakthrough thinking. Open Space Meetings are particularly useful for fully engaging all those who are truly passionate about and committed to a subject. Arguably, there is no greater shared bond that PMO practitioners have than their collective passion and commitment to the value proposition of a well-conceived, established, and run PMO. This workshop session utilizes the Open Space Meeting approach to tackle the top PMO‐related issues, opportunities, and topics of the workshop attendees.
All sessions include practical application, tips, tools and ideas to use after the workshop to sustain what you have learned in the class.
