Career Hour – Specialist Roles in the PMO
2024-03-28 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/career-hour-specialist-roles-in-the-pmo/
Career Hour sessions at the House of PMO are exclusive to House of PMO online and full members.
Career Hours are run bi-monthly and enable us to concentrate on topics which help us navigate our careers in PMO. Each session brings together a smaller group of practitioners who are happy to share their own experiences – in many ways the sessions become like small coaching circles too, where a problem shared is a problem halved.
Each time we take a topic area and share insights from research, papers and personal experiences and hopefully bring different ways of thinking about our careers.
This month the focus is on the specialist roles which exist in PMOs – what they are and what kinds of skills and experiences are needed to take up a specialist role. We’ll talk about the pros and cons of specialising too.

Key Behaviours in PMO Roles - Livestream
2024-04-04 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/key-behaviours-in-pmo-roles-livestream/
In this session, we look at the key behaviours underpinning each PMO role.
Each day a PMO professional utilises their knowledge, skills and experience to perform their role well. The key component which elevates how well a role is performed is behaviour.
How we communicate, collaborate, solve problems, interact with others, adapt, motivate, learn.. the list goes on – all affect our day-to-day work.
The PMO Competency Framework features the core behaviours required in PMO roles and this session focuses on the 16 behaviour areas featured in the Framework.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

Identify the key behaviours that are essential for PMO professionals.
Understand the importance of soft skills in PMO roles.
Develop a plan to improve their own PMO skills and behaviours.

Quality Management and the PMO
2024-04-09 18:00 - 19:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/quality-management-and-the-pmo/
In this session we focus on the PMO Competency – Quality Management.
While traditional textbooks outline quality in terms of planning, control, and assurance, our discussion will explore the multifaceted nature of ‘quality’ through different lenses.
We will break down the concept of quality management into three distinct perspectives:

Fit-for-Purpose User Deliverables: Explore how quality manifests in project delivery such as warehouses or IT systems projects. Understand the key considerations and strategies for ensuring that project deliverables meet user expectations.
Fit-for-Purpose Project Management Deliverables: Focusing on the quality of essential deliverables like projects plans and business cases in projects. Uncover best practices to guarantee that the core elements of project management align with the desired outcomes.
Fit-for-Purpose Approaches to Delivery: Examine quality from a broader project management standpoint, evaluating governance, assurance, and other crucial aspects. Learn how to tailor approaches to delivery, ensuring they align seamlessly with the unique requirements of each project.

The webinar will guide you on where to start depending on the lens you’re using, providing practical insights and actionable strategies for enhancing quality across different dimensions of PMO activities.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of quality in PMOs and equip yourself with the tools to navigate the complex landscape of project management. Join us for an engaging discussion that goes beyond the textbooks, offering real-world perspectives and valuable takeaways for PMO professionals.

Scenario Based PMO Self-Assessments
2024-04-18 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/scenario-based-pmo-self-assessments/
The PMO Competency Framework has enabled many PMO practitioners to complete their self-assessment since its launch in 2021. Using the book or the online self-assessment tool (available through your membership) has given individuals many career benefits, including:

Assessing yourself against a standard to see how you stack up
Identifying skills gaps
Benchmarking yourself against different roles in the PMO
Finding out what you need for the next level up
Learning what competent looks like for your role
Understanding the common language and terms in PPM and PMO
Using it within your performance review
And negotiating a salary increase or promotion
Using it to write your CV or resume
Gaining confidence in your knowledge, skills and behaviours

In this session, we take a look at a different approach to performing a self-assessment – scenario-based self-assessments.
Scenario-based self-assessments can be used to help practitioners identify their knowledge, skills and behaviours based on the common situations – or scenarios – they find themselves in whilst performing their role. One of the hardest parts of completing a self-assessment is the ability to not only remember what you’ve done in your career but also to pinpoint how you perform in those tasks and activities.
In this session, we share many different scenarios and help you develop the skills of identifying your competences, knowledge, skills, and behaviours, allowing you to perform a true and accurate self-assessment.
This session is a PMO career-focused session that is open to all members.

2024-05-02 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/spotlight-on-the-pmo-analyst-role-livestream/
In this session we put the focus on the PMO Analyst role.

Join us on this special day – International PMO Day – as we focus on one of the ways that PMOs contribute to an organisation’s continuous learning culture by bringing learning into the ‘flow of work’ with communities of practice.
What better day to learn about communities of practice by joining your own community of practice at the House of PMO!
In this session we focus on what communities of practice are and how the PMO can take responsibility for running them. We will look at the three-part process of initiating, supporting, and sustaining communities of practice within organisations.
Algy Ayson
We’re joined by a special guest – Algy Ayson. Algy is the Head of Project Delivery Centre of Excellence at House of Commons and is focused on building strong project delivery communities – perfect for today’s session.

Show Me Your RAID Log
2024-05-23 13:00 - 14:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/show-me-your-raid-log/
Projects typically don’t go wrong because of the project plan. It’s not the activities on their Kanban boards or their 1500-line schedule. Projects go wrong because of unmanaged risks, forgotten action items, out of control issues or poor decision making. But there is a tool specifically designed to help keep projects out of trouble – and to course-correct when they do struggle: the RAID log.
As critical as this tool is for project leaders, it can be even more important to PMO leaders. RAID logs can:

Understand if their project leaders are staying on top of their projects
Effectively coach project managers and help them improve
Effectively ‘manage up’ to help engage executive sponsors
Understand the top Risk and Issues that face the portfolio as a whole
Better manage the important executive

And with new innovations with RAID and AI, this tool is more important than ever to the successful operation of a PMO.
This presentation is based on content from the presenter’s book, The Ultimate Guide to RAID Logs. We will be giving away 3 copies of the book during the presentation.
Attendees will also receive 90 day free access to the only dedicated RAID log platform on the market: https://raidlog.com
In this session you will:

Gain an understanding of the basics of modern RAID management
Gain insights on how to provide oversight and governance on project delivery with a RAID log
Learn about how to coach and mentor project leaders with a RAID log
Be able to manage up to executive sponsors and stakeholders with a RAID log

This session is open for all members of the House of PMO.
This session is linked to Issue Management and Risk Management in the PMO Competency Framework.

Getting Started With a PMO Self-Assessment - WATCH PARTY
2024-06-05 12:00 - 13:00
In this session, we take a look at carrying out a PMO self-assessment and what you need to get started.
Self-assessments are used by individuals for several different reasons including:

Understanding what your key strength areas are
Understanding where your skills gaps are
Comparing your own experiences to an industry standard
Using the outputs for better conversations with your manager about performance and development
A confidence booster – you know more than you think
A time to reflect and think about what you want from your PMO career
Identifying development opportunities and training

Taking the PMO Competency Framework, we share how you can prepare, reflect, complete it and use it in your PMO career development.
We will be using the online self-assessment tool as well – so that you can see how it works and how useful it can be.
This session is aimed at all PMO practitioners regardless of level – all you need to have is a passion for developing yourself in PMO!

Prompt Engineering for the PMO
2024-06-10 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/prompt-engineering-for-the-pmo/
Prompt engineering is basically the art of crafting questions or commands that help guide AI models, like ChatGPT, CoPilot or Google Gemini, to generate more accurate and useful responses or content. It involves understanding how to effectively communicate with the AI to get the best results, whether that’s for generating text, images, or analysing data. It’s a bit like knowing the right way to ask a question to get the most informative answer.
In this session we’ll be taking a look at some of the core documentation and data that the PMO uses and crafting different prompts to help extract useful information and insights.
It’s a practical session and you’ll be expected to get thinking about useful prompts too. There will also be some live interaction with a couple of popular AI models, so who knows what we will be learning on the day!
This session is open to all members and is aligned to the knowledge area of using applications and tools – plus the analytical, thinking and problem-solving skills in the PMO Competency Framework.

WATCH PARTY - Introduction to Portfolio Management in Higher Education
2024-07-03 12:00 - 12:45
In this session, we get back to basics with portfolio management.
One of the top challenges that many higher education institutions face is prioritising which projects and programmes get delivered. In this session, we dive into the intricacies of Portfolio Management, ePMO, and best practices which help PMOs bring a structured approach and much-needed consistency in strategic planning, governance, performance and change.
The session focuses on both the best practice approaches in portfolio management and PMO and the realities of both of those in Higher Education institutions today.
This session was originally ran as part of the PMO:HE Higher Education virtual conference and whilst focused on universities, it is also applicable to any PMO professional wanting to understand more about the role in supporting portfolio management in an organisation.

PMO Services - What's Hot and What's Not?
2024-08-07 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/pmo-services-whats-hot-and-whats-not/
During the PMO Conference in London this year we like to gain insights from the PMO professionals attending and use a number of different interactive boards to gain the different perspectives on a particular theme.
During this year’s conference we honed in on PMO Services.
You might already be familiar with the PMO Service Catalogue and the volunteer project currently running. We’ve previously run many sessions in this area because the ‘service-led’ approach to the PMO is so popular.
In this session, we’ll be sharing the insights from all those who participated – they were asked:

Which services do you provide that are the most popular or ‘hottest’?
Which services do you provide that are least popular or the ‘coldest’?
And ‘I want to deliver this service but don’t. . . . . why?’

Plenty of insights were provided, and we’ll review those and provide some further practical advice on what we uncover.
This is a great session to learn more about PMO services, what others are doing in their organisations and have the opportunity to provide your insights too!

WATCH PARTY - Prompt Engineering and the PMO
2024-08-14 12:00 - 13:00
This was such a popular session we ran in early June, we thought it would make a great Watch Party session too.
Prompt engineering is basically the art of crafting questions or commands that help guide AI models, like ChatGPT, CoPilot or Google Gemini, to generate more accurate and useful responses or content. It involves understanding how to effectively communicate with the AI to get the best results, whether that’s for generating text, images, or analysing data. It’s a bit like knowing the right way to ask a question to get the most informative answer.
In this session we’ll be taking a look at some of the core documentation and data that the PMO uses and crafting different prompts to help extract useful information and insights.

2024-08-22 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/career-hour-the-pmo-career-checklist/
Career hour sessions are member-only events which are focused on some aspect of your PMO career. There has been plenty of themes already covered, you can check them out in the Member’s Library here.
The sessions are run every other month and tend to be smaller groups of practitioners joining the session. In addition to the presentation, there is the expectation that attendees will share their own experiences and insights for the benefit of the wider group. In this way, career hour sessions are a great way to connect with others as well as taking away valuable career-related insights that could help you in your PMO own career.
In this month’s session we’re looking at the PMO Career Checklist. Every PMO professional loves a checklist so why not one which focuses on you? Expect to delve into on-the-job actions, training, skills, promotion, knowledge, behaviours, assessments, networks, competences and more!

Inside PMO – PMO vs Project Controls
2024-09-04 12:00 - 13:00 | https://houseofpmo.com/event/inside-pmo-pmo-vs-project-controls/
Join us for a session focused on the latest Inside PMO Report – PMO Versus Project Controls.
Launched at the PMO Conference in London in June, this is the eighth report the House of PMO has released – with each one focused on different themes and interest areas, reinforcing our dedication to deepening the understanding of PMO industry dynamics.
In this report we investigate the current perspectives and changing dynamics between the PMO function and the project controls function. Each report is created with the contributions of experienced PMO professionals and this year the debate was held at the Houses of Parliament in London with attendance from both professionals in PMO and those in predominantly project controls functions.
The final report has allowed us to uncover what the definitions are of PMO and project controls; the similarities and differences between these functions, understanding the history and how we have arrived at the current landscape, the people and the career paths, the services offered and what the future looks like with plenty of opportunities for both functions to make a difference to their organisations.
We will cover these aspects in the session and wrap up with the pertinent question, “so what? what does mean for both functions?”

Watch Party: Securing a Better Paid PMO Job
2024-09-18 12:00 - 13:00
In this Watch Party, we share the session about Securing a Better Paid PMO Job which was previously run as part of our PMO Career Hour series. ‘Better paid’ in this instance means either being compensated for the value you add; being rewarded for the role you’re performing rather than what is on their job profile; getting promoted or taking the next step in your career.
You might also have similar reasons for being interested in a session like this – part of being successful in getting the level of pay you want is all in the planning – and having the self-confidence and self-belief to ask for it.
Join us in our Watch Party – a session where a pre-recorded session is running and we all chat together as it runs. Please note, to join in with the chat you will need a YouTube account.
How to join in?
Just join us here on this event listing, and at the allotted time, the recording will start running. Make sure you’re logged into your YouTube account and join in with the comments and chat.
