The day to day responsibilities of a PMO Administrator explained
Join House of PMO’s Eileen Roden and Lindsay Scott as they explain the role of a PMO Administrator, also known as a Project Co-ordinator or Project Support Officer.
Remember when we were all stunned back in March 2020? #PMOwfh was our weekly Wednesday afternoon show that helped a lot of us through those difficult first few months as we adjusted to lockdown.
We loved those afternoons working from home, and on reflection, we still think it's a great idea for bringing PMO people together - for an hour we mixed it up with short presentations, Q&As, 10 in 10, a poll of the week, stories and insights from across the PMO and P3M community.
This time we'll be running #PMOwfh on a monthly basis - session on the 15th of March at 12.15pm UK time.
Join us for an hour of sharing, networking, chats and ridiculous jingles as we start up our monthly shows designed to put a spring in your step and a real feeling of community.
In this session we launch the new Inside PMO Report. Simply called PMO Leadership, we will take a look at what leaders in PMOs today are doing and gain insights on how they manage and lead their PMO teams.
The session also brings a focus onto leadership skills and how these are adopted and used - not just by the PMO Managers themselves - but also by their PMO team members. Leadership is not just something senior managers do, its in all of us, and we all demonstrate leadership in our day-to-day roles.
The Inside PMO Report will also be launched on the 6th May and available to download and read later.
Join us as we explore PMO leadership - what it is, who does it, how do they do it, why it's needed and when does it happen.
** Subject to a date change – we’ll keep you informed if there is a change to this date** In this session we provide a more detailed look at the new qualification – Essentials for PMO Managers. You’ll find out about the syllabus of the qualification and what is covered on the course. We will […]
In this session we take a look at the PMO Conference 2022 sessions and pick out some of the many insights that were shared across both London and Edinburgh conferences.
We'll be dipping into the sessions, picking out those pictures, diagrams, tables, figures and scribbles that got us intrigued.
It's a great session if you fancy an hour of dipping into different PMO themes and topics.
If you were there and fancy a recap - or perhaps you couldn't get there this year and want to see what some of the sessions were all about.
This event is open to all membership levels.
The brilliant thing about a career in PMO is that there is opportunity, literally hundreds of different opportunities – and we’re not just talking about moving on and out to a Project or Programme Manager role.
We can choose to work in different types of PMOs, work at different levels of responsibility and authority, choose to become the go-to-person in a certain area. We can choose to lead innovation in our PMOs; or make things better for our senior executives or create a great team of PMO practitioners who are knocking it out of the park. Great things can happen in a PMO career.
To take advantage of opportunities it takes a combination of things – such as experience, skills, behaviours, attitude, luck and much more. Sometimes our organisation helps us to be in a position to take up opportunities, sometimes it comes from our own drive and determination. When you take ownership for your own career, that’s when doors start to open.
In this interactive session we’ll be covering different areas of “taking ownership” – what that really means, what does it look like, how you can take ownership.
We’ll also look closer at the “PMO career” and uncover lots of different avenues that should spark thoughts about your own career to date and where you want to be next.
Full of practical tips and insights plus a chance to hear how others are taking ownership of their PMO career – it’s a session you wouldn’t want to miss if you love what you do and want to do more of it.
On the 28th September, we're celebrating Ask A Stupid Question Day!Yes really, it's a thing!
Now's your chance to ask anything you like about PMO. It doesn't matter what, don't be shy, no question is really a stupid question:
"(There's) no such thing as a stupid question" is a common phrase, that states that the quest for knowledge includes failure, and that just because one person may know less than others, they should not be afraid to ask rather than pretend they already know. In many cases, multiple people may not know, but are too afraid to ask the "stupid question"; the one who asks the question may in fact be doing a service to those around them.
In this session we are with lodger Graham and we'll be going through the many quesitons that people have submitted.
You can get involved by submitting your question right here.
In this session we take a look at the roles of PMO Administrators, Project Support Officers and Project Co-ordinators and reveal the top five things that really help people in these roles do a great job. Join us for this free session!
In this session we take a look at carrying out a PMO self-assessment. Using the PMO Competency Framework we share how you can prepare, reflect, complete it and use it in your PMO career development.
