About the event

Modern PMOs are busier than ever. Gartner cites a whole range of Hot Topics for PPM, such as Demand Management, Resource Management, Programme and Portfolio Management, Reporting & Dashboards, Strategy realisation and so on. Yet many PMOs are still held back by inefficient manual processes, disconnected data sets and the ever-ongoing struggle of engaging stakeholders.

 

What Microsoft cloud services help us digitally transform the PMO?

For any organisation already invested in Microsoft cloud, there is an obvious path: apply the platform you already own to the challenges of the PMO. This event will help you make sense of Microsoft services so you can make a start. The newly branded Microsoft Planner is at the heart of this, and so are services like Teams, Power Apps, Power Automate and Power BI as well as Copilot and other AI services. An amazing platform to unite all your data in one place, as the basis for collaboration, automation, integration and efficiencies delivered through AI!

House of PMO Presentation: Benefits of Friction Between PMO and Delivery Teams

We are going to talk about more than just technology: Our friends at House of PMO Eileen Roden and Lindsay Scott will discuss how PMOs continue to be challenged about their value to the organisation. Yet despite that, more and more PMOs are being set up – so how can that be? Let’s uncover where the real value of the PMO is and address the elephant in the room – the friction that exists between the PMO and delivery teams. The session will discuss the underlying causes for friction, how to work with it and how friction helps deliver higher value for everyone involved in change delivery.

What you will learn from this event:

  • What are the “digital transformation” tools in the Microsoft platform
  • Why do they make a unique business case for your PMO
  • What is the “art of the possible”, and how will AI push this even further
  • What are the real-world considerations when undertaking a tool implementation in this platform – not least the impact on friction between stakeholders
  • How can you make a start with very little budget

Expect to see plenty of practical demonstrations of real-world applications, including our highly functional PMO application Power Framework, built in the Microsoft Power Platform.
