In setting up a project office or project management office (PMO), organizations need a pragmatic approach and the support of senior management. By looking internally and using existing best practices, methodologies and tools, project managers can "jumpstart" the process and more importantly create a project office or PMO that fits their organization rather than the other way around. This re-use strategy can also help keep costs down. BUT can it be done quickly without sacrificing the long-term success of the PMO?
In this episode we examine how to set up a project office or PMO in 4 weeks.
To do this, Wayne Thompson is sitting down with Cornelius Fichtner, who has over 15 years of project management experience. Cornelius owns and manages his own project management training company and in his spare time produces three audioblogs: The PM Podcast, The PM PrepCast and The PDU Podcast. He is extremely passionate about project management methodologies and PMOs. Today he will be sharing his insights and war stores around setting up a project office or PMO in 4 weeks.
