Wednesday 17th June 2026 in Moorgate, London
Join 120 PMO practitioners for an interactive, classroom day focused on best practice (made usable) – practical techniques, models, methods and frameworks that help PMOs support project, programme and portfolio delivery from end to end.
You’ll work in table teams throughout the day and leave with real outputs you can take back to your organisation.
PMOLearn! rated 4.8/5 by past attendees and now returning for the fifth year.
One Day. Limited Seats. Real PMO Learning.
PMOLearn! returns on 17 June 2026 – an immersive classroom-style training day designed exclusively for PMO professionals.
Across four themed sessions, you’ll apply best practice frameworks through guided exercises and practical discussion.
Smaller group learning. Bigger impact.
Places are limited.
What You’ll Actually Be Able To Do
We’ll walk the full P3M lifecycle – from idea to benefits realisation – and unpack what “good” really looks like at every stage.
You’ll explore how to:
-
Design the right PMO operating model
-
Shape work into decision-ready business cases
-
Keep delivery on track with governance, stage gates and assurance
-
Strengthen sponsorship and oversight
-
Prioritise based on benefits, not noise
-
Translate it all into practical PMO services you can apply immediately
This isn’t textbook theory. It’s how high-performing PMOs actually operate.

Your PMOLearn! Day
Choosing the Right PMO Model
Is your PMO designed for your organisation – or inherited from somewhere or someone else?
Too often the PMO shape is copied, evolved by accident, or built around reporting rather than outcomes.
In this session, we’ll explore proven PMO models and help you choose the right fit for your delivery environment, maturity and stakeholder expectations.
Drawing on established thinking from P3O, PMI and House of PMO, you’ll design (or refresh) a PMO that is clear on purpose, focused on value and credible in how it supports delivery.
You’ll build a practical PMO Canvas defining purpose, services, success measures and boundaries – so your PMO is intentional, not accidental.
Standardisation and Delivery Methods
Delivery frameworks should create clarity and control. But when standards become heavy, vague or ignored, they slow teams down and give leaders a false sense of confidence.
This session shows you how to design a minimum-viable delivery framework – practical standards and lightweight artefacts that work across waterfall, hybrid and agile environments.
We’ll strengthen the “front door” to delivery too, shaping work through decision-ready business cases that surface value, risk, assumptions and affordability before it enters the portfolio.
You’ll define what “good enough” really means and focus on the PMO tools that stick – RAID, benefits, communications and lessons learned – without adding bureaucracy.
Governance and Sponsorship Throughout
When delivery feels risky, organisations add more governance. The result? More meetings. More paperwork. Less clarity on who decides what – and when.
In this session, we’ll explore governance that runs across the full lifecycle and enables better, faster decisions.
You’ll clarify decision rights, cadence and thresholds, define what “good” stage gates actually look like, and understand the evidence and confidence needed at each point.
We’ll also focus on sponsorship – role clarity, escalation paths and how to help sponsors act, not just attend.
You’ll create a practical lifecycle governance map covering gates, evidence, tolerances, decision-makers and fast-path rules for low-risk work.
Start With the End in Mind: Strategic Alignment, Prioritisation & Benefits
Portfolio decisions are where strategy either becomes real – or quietly unravels. Without a clear way to compare value, benefits, capacity and risk, organisations start too much and finish too little.
In this session, we’ll connect strategy to delivery through benefits-led thinking and practical prioritisation.
You’ll explore portfolio management approaches that work in the real world and how to compare initiatives based on value, affordability and risk.
We’ll also strengthen the link between business case and realised outcomes – clarifying ownership, measures, leading indicators and sensible tracking.
You’ll see how prioritisation and benefits realisation fit together in practice.

Setting the scene for the four lessons throughout the day.
9.30am - 11.00am
Setting Up the Right PMO
In this session we look at the best practice available in choosing and designing a PMO that fits your organisation, your delivery approach and what stakeholders actually need.
Participants will learn about:
-
PMO types and what they’re for (supporting / controlling / directive etc.)
-
P3O-style thinking: portfolio / programme / project support structures
-
PMI-style PMO capability maturity / value delivery concepts
-
House of PMO framing: services, customers, outcomes, evolution path
11.00am - 11.15am
Coffee Break
First break of the day and a time to chat about what you’ve learnt and what you’re thinking about so far.
11.15am - 12.45pm
Standardisation and Delivery Methods
In this session we’ll look at the minimum-viable delivery framework PMOs can put in place to improve outcomes without suffocating teams – practical standards, lightweight artefacts, and clear guardrails that people will actually use.
Participants will learn about:
-
Standards that scale: principles, artefacts and guardrails
-
Delivery methods and when they fit best (waterfall, hybrid, agile)
-
Business cases done properly: options, assumptions, value, risk, confidence and affordability
-
Practical PMO tools that stick: RAID, benefits, communications and lessons learned
12.45pm - 1.30pm
Lunch
Take the time to discuss the mornings topics with your PMO peers and take a break from the learning.
1.30pm - 3.00pm
Governance and Sponsorship Throughout
Stage gates, decision points, assurance and sponsorship behaviours – that’s the focus in the first afternoon session.
Participants will learn about:
-
Governance that adds value: decision rights, cadence, thresholds
-
Stage gates: what “good” looks like (info needed, confidence level, outcomes)
-
Assurance: proportionate controls, health checks, “quality clinics”
-
Sponsorship: role clarity, behaviours, escalation paths, sponsor enablement
3.00pm - 3.15pm
Afternoon Tea
A chance to recharge and continue the conversation with your peers.
3.15pm - 4.45pm
Start With the End in Mind: Strategic Alignment, Prioritisation & Benefits

Participants will learn about:
-
The role of portfolio management: decision-making and trade-offs
-
Intake and triage: shaping demand through validation and a simple funnel
-
Prioritisation models that work in practice
-
Benefits and value tracking: keeping outcomes in view from business case through to realised value.
4.45pm - 5.30pm
