Measuring PMO Performance: An Inside Look at High-Performing PMOs
Presentation Description
Recent research has shown that mature, high-performing PMOs deliver value to
their organizations – and that value is rarely questioned by executives.
What’s their secret?
In part, it lies in the way successful PMOs measure performance – and that
means not only project performance but also the job performance of project
managers as well as the organizational performance indicators that can be
affected by projects, programs, and the PMO.
Based on the latest research on PMO trends and best practices, and drawing
real-world examples from PMO of the Year Award winners and finalists over
the past six years, this class will offer:
- An overview of project and program performance measurement role of the PMO
with suggested best-practice metrics and measures
- Discussion of
baselining and developing project manager competence, with case studies from
PM College research as well as the PMO of the Year files
- A guide
to matching PMO initiatives to key organizational performance measures to
create a fact-based value proposition for the enterprise PMO
Course
materials will include a copy of the forthcoming book (to be released this
fall)
