• Those leading or managing a PMO function – PMO Managers, PMO Lead, PMO Director and Head of PMO roles.
• Those tasked with designing and implementing a PMO function

The P3O® Practitioner Certification follows on from the P3O® Foundation. Where the Foundation certification focuses on the fundamentals of P3O®, the Practitioner level is about the application of P3O®.

The Practitioner course covers the design, implementation and management of a P3O® model. You will gain an overall understanding of the elements, roles, functions and tools and techniques deployed in a generalised P3O® model.

Course Modules include:

• Module 1: Why Have a P3O®?
• Module 2: Models and Tailoring
• Module 3: Implementing and Re-energising
• Module 4: How to Operate a P3O® (including Tools and Techniques)

In the course, learners will:

• Understand how to develop the business case required to obtain senior management approval for the P3O®.
• Explore how to identify and build the most appropriate P3O® model, which will adapt to the organisation’s needs, taking account of the organisation’s size and portfolio, programme and project management maturity.
• Learn how to identify the most appropriate roles required to populate a specified P3O® structure.
• Learn how to plan the implementation of a P3O®.
• Learn how to choose and use appropriate tools and techniques while running the P3O and advising those who shape the portfolio of programmes and projects.
• Prepare to pass the P3O® Practitioner exam and become P3O® Practitioner certified.

After the course, learners will be able to:

• Demonstrate a greater understanding of how to create a business case and mandate for the P3O®.
• Understand how P3O®s are structured throughout the organisation.
• Use the P3O® model and blueprint for implementing a P3O model.
