Course Overview
TopChange is a constant. It is therefore vital to maintain a high level of assurance and stability when executing projects, programs and portfolios.
Around the world, there are many organisations in both the public and private sectors, who recognise that their portfolio, programme and project management is best supported through a delivery support office. The Cabinet Office's PRINCE2®, Managing Successful Programmes (MSP®), and Management of Risk (M_o_R®) all touch on the need to provide adequate support structures for these best practices, but until now there has been no single source of information that either organisations or individuals can use for guidance or advice on setting up or running an effective delivery support office.
Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O®) is a Best Management Practice certification and is aligned to PRINCE2®, MSP®, and M_o_R®. P3O® brings together in one place a set of principles, processes and techniques to facilitate effective portfolio, programme and project management through enablement, challenge and support structures.
P3O® is now the established approach in supporting senior management decision making through the portfolio, its programmes, projects and business as usual. It enables individuals and organisations to establish, develop and maintain appropriate support structures that will assist senior management decision making; identify and realise outcomes and benefits via programmes and projects; deliver programmes and projects within time, cost, quality and other constraints.
The course has been very much designed with the delegate in mind. Using best practice Accelerated Learning techniques and high quality course materials. The course is constructed to help delegates navigate their way through a complex and extensive method in a way that appeals to all learning styles. The course is delivered in an integrated manner so that delegates are working with Practitioner level material from day one.
At the end of the course you will be able to sit both the P3O® Foundation and Practitioner examinations. Web proctored exam vouchers are included.
