P3O® Foundation : project, programme and portfolio management training

Description

The P3O® (Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices) method is a framework and set of recommendations for project management offices (PMOs) and organisational governance. It is primarily designed for the management of portfolios, programmes and projects within an organisation. P3O® is often used in conjunction with other project management methodologies and frameworks, such as PRINCE2® (Projects in Controlled Environments) and MSP® (Managing Successful Programmes).
The programme is aimed primarily at professionals wishing to acquire a general understanding of the P3O® model and its guidelines. Course objectives include understanding the P3O method, its models, tools and techniques, as well as its practical application. The course will include a theoretical component as well as practical exercises in the form of MCQs and case studies.
At the end of this three-day course, you will also be prepared to obtain P3O® Foundation certification through a mock exam (for more information, see the certification tab). This certification is a prerequisite for access to higher levels of certification, such as P3O Practitioner.
