Almost at every turn there are organizations offering basic project management courses focused on the single project environment. Finding courses focused on the multi-project environment can be challenging at best.

In an effort to meet the needs of experienced project managers, operating in the multi-project environment, BKC has collaborated with many of the industry's leading experts to offer world class training for the multi-project environment. The result is a series of public or on-site workshops designed to take the multi-project manager to the next level in their career development.

In addition to public and on-site workshops, BKC also organizes public events such as conferences and summits to introduce Project Managers to these education topics.

This workshop documents an easy-to-follow eight step process that any project portfolio manager can use, either in starting the process from the ground up, or in improving an existing process. The eight steps describe how to take existing and usually grossly incomplete data about projects and build the compelling information needed to drive improvement. In this workshop, participants learn both strategy and tactics for improving the project mix within an organization. Based upon the powerful concepts in the new book by Kendall and Rollins, Advanced Project Portfolio Management and the PMO, you will learn how to take a portfolio and make it perform better than ever before.

The Program/Project Management Office (PMO) is the fastest growing management structure in the profession of project management today. The PMO is the critical element in effectively and efficiently managing: the triple constraints (cost, schedule, performance) of programs and projects, time-to-market, and the enterprise bottom line. PMO today exists in various shapes and sizes. PMO are more visible today then in the 1960s when the concept was developed and practiced successfully in aviation and aerospace companies. Recently, partly based on their increased visibility, PMO failures are being seen in all industries.

This interactive workshop will enable the student to anticipate and answers questions related to the creation of a PMO, PMO implementation timelines, PMO barriers to success, PMO maturity models, Lean PMO practices, PMO strategic and tactical objectives, simplified PMO Knowledge Management, the framework to implementing a successful PMO adaptable to any organization, and the integration of a Portfolio Management System. The student will take away considerable reference material related to PMO best applicable practices.

This workshop is a necessity for project managers and executives that have recognized that the implementation of a PMO is not an overnight express setup and desire to weigh critical factors within their organizations prior to implementing a PMO.

This workshop is also essential for those organizations who have implemented a PMO that has stalled during the development, may not be living up to original expectations, or has failed and needs to be rescued for enterprise success.
Contact BKC for additional information on PMO workshops.
