Why PMO Skills Matter

Описание: Its no secret that if you want to run successful projects and programs you need to have a Project Management Office (PMO) in place. A PMO helps to ensure that company procedures, practices and operations are followed (on time, on budget and with consistency).
The PMO's function is to ensure project and program success which is critical because organizations deliver value through the successful delivery of projects and programs.

In this episode of APMG Connect, we interview the creators of the House of PMO competency framework as well as an APMG accredited training and consulting organization who are experts in advising and training organizations in how to set up a successful PMO. We take an in depth look at what a successful PMO looks like and what steps you need to take to get there.

The House of PMO's mission is to create a home for PMO professionals where they can develop themselves, support the development of others and contribute to the development of the PMO profession.

Hosted by Jenny Hepler, our guests on the show are Patrick Girard, President of Okazy, Eileen J Roden, President and Co-founder at House of PMO and Lindsay Scott, Co-founder of House of PMO.
