A new type of event from House of PMO - the 'super series'.
The super series takes place over 6 months with one event a month - all focused on a specific PMO topic. We launch the series with an Agile PMO Super Series.
The session is hosted by our agility lodger Matthew Milsom and you're invited to take part in any of the sessions - if you're really keen to learn about anything and everything agile/Agile in your role, consider attending all six of the sessions.
How it Works
Register and add your response to the first question - 'what would you like to see covered in this first session?'
Your responses help to create the super series backlog and at the end of each session, a new crowdsourced area of interest for the next session is chosen.
In other words, it's you, the attendee that chooses what the sessions are focused on.
You can attend all the sessions or just dip into the ones that interest you the most.
The sessions are free to online and full members - a small fee for those that are currently free members.
How many times do we hear the term about PMOs being the 'critical friend' to our Project Managers, Programme Managers, SROs and others? Do we really understand what it means to be a critical friend?
In this session, we're joined by Neil Goldsmith, a professional 'critical friend' who will give us all the insights we need to make sure we're performing the role of critical friend well.
We will find out what it really means to be a critical friend and find out how you can become an effective one. We will also understand what form it takes, the different approaches and techniques to use.
Neil has performed the role of critical friend in some of the highest profile projects and programmes over the years and is still called on by various government departments today to provide that role. He has plenty of stories to share that will help you form your own insights and takeaways on how you could be performing the critical friend role.
