It played an important role in helping practitioners discover new tools\, services and approaches and it was also where the House of PMO\, then PMO Flashmob\, regularly exhibited and grew connections within the wider PMO community. \nSince Project Challenge closed in recent years\, there has been a noticeable gap in the calendar for a free\, accessible event serving the whole UK project management profession. \nFollowing conversations with several House of PMO Conference sponsors\, the demand for a new industry-wide event became clear. With their support\, we’re delighted to announce the launch of a brand-new addition to the project management calendar. \nProject Forum will take place on 21st April 2026 in London\, offering a full programme of seminars\, birds-of-a-feather sessions\, an exhibition space\, and opportunities to connect with peers from across the profession. The event is free to attend and open to the entire UK project management community. \nThe House of PMO will be there in the exhibition area – you can find out more about the seminar and roundtable discussions we’re also running.

It’s candid\, honest\, and collaborative. \nThis year\, we’re coming to Glasgow. And the theme?\nSpecialist Roles in the PMO – because we know the four core roles (Administrator\, Analyst\, Manager\, Director) don’t tell the whole story. \nFrom Benefits Leads to Planning Specialists\, Agile PMO roles to Risk SMEs – we want to explore how these specialist roles are evolving\, where the demand is coming from\, and what that means for PMO structures\, services\, and careers. \nWhy This Theme?\nWe’re building on the PMO Competency Framework\, which currently outlines the four core PMO roles. But in practice\, we’re seeing far more nuanced and specialist roles – sometimes as permanent functions\, sometimes as secondments\, sometimes emerging out of necessity. \nThis roundtable will help shape future updates to the framework – and will feed directly into the next Inside PMO Report. \nWho Should Apply?\nWe’re opening six spaces for PMO Managers to apply. You’ll be a good fit if: \n\nYou manage or lead a PMO (any sector\, any size)\nYou’ve introduced\, managed\, or worked alongside specialist roles in your PMO\nYou’ve got stories\, experience\, or views worth sharing – and you’re happy to contribute\nYou’re curious about how others are approaching specialist roles\n\nThis is not a spectator event. If you attend\, it’s because you have something to say. \nHow It Works\n\n12 places around the table – 6 invited\, 6 through application\nFacilitated discussion – led by the House of PMO team\nOutputs published in the 2026 Inside PMO Report\nLunch included – no cost to attend\, but your insight is the ticket in\, plus the lunch will be delicious!\n\n  \nApply to Join\nComplete the form when you RSVP to tell us a bit about your PMO\, your experience with specialist roles\, and what you’d bring to the conversation. We’re not looking for perfect answers – just thoughtful ones. \nPrevious Inside PMO Reports\nCurious about what comes out of these lunches?

Expect more pressure to simplify governance\, cut the “reporting for reporting’s sake” stuff\, and use data (and increasingly AI-supported analysis) to spot trends\, exceptions\, and delivery pinch-points earlier. At the same time\, the people side won’t let up: capability building\, influencing skills\, and change leadership will matter just as much as tooling\, because PMOs will keep getting asked to act like a business function – not a back-office service. \nIn this session\, we’ll share the top ten from the House of PMO and provide some of the practical ways we can deal with them.

That report introduced the “Circle of Resource Management\,” a model that has since guided PMO practitioners in overcoming challenges in managing resources across projects\, programmes\, portfolios\, and capability development. \nThis year\, we will refresh and re-examine the Circle of Resource Management model at our upcoming roundtable\, looking at what’s working in PMOs and organisations today\, what hasn’t worked\, and the current challenges PMOs face—eight years after the original report. \n  \nThe Roundtable Discussion\nTo shape the 2025 report\, the House of PMO\, with support from the Houses of Parliament\, will host a roundtable discussion\, open to corporate and full members who can share their experiences in resource management. \nIf your PMO has made significant strides in areas like: \n\nStrategic resource management\nResource planning\nResource forecasting\nCapacity planning\nCapability development\n\nWe encourage you to register and attend the event\, sharing your own experiences as well as meeting other PMO practitioners with lessons to share. \nEvent Details \n\nDate: Monday\, 2nd December 2024\nTime: 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm\nLocation: Houses of Parliament\, Westminster\, London\n\n  \nSeats are limited\, so please register to secure your place and contribute to shaping the future of resource management in PMOs. We ask that only one representative per organisation attends\, and recommend that attendees have significant experience or recent involvement in resource management within their PMO. \n  \n  URL:https://houseofpmo.com/event/inside-pmo-resource-management-roundtable-discussion/ LOCATION:Houses of Parliament\, Palace of Westminster\, London\, SW1A 0AA CATEGORIES:Annually,In-Person,Member Exclusive ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://houseofpmo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Resource-Management-Houses-Parliament-1.jpeg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
