P3P2 (download brochure)
Overview
Project, Programme and Portfolio Office (P3O) is the latest guidance in the Best Management Practice range provided by AXELOS Limited. A P3O model provides a decision enabling/delivery support structure for all change within an organisation. This may be provided through a single permanent office which may exist under several different names e.g., Portfolio Office, Centre of Excellence, Enterprise or Corporate Programme Office. It may otherwise be provided through a linked set of offices (portfolio office, programme offices, project offices), both permanent (enabling / supporting business objectives and consistency of delivery) and temporary (enabling / supporting specific programmes and projects), providing a mix of central and localised services.
This is an examination based course which leads to P3O accreditation at Practitioner Level. The course equips delegates with a detailed knowledge of the P3O framework including guidance on models, roles, tools and techniques, and rejuvenation of existing P3Os, then provides delegates with an opportunity to apply this knowledge. .
