In PMOs I Have Known we learn from a PMO professional's own career and the lessons they've learnt along the way. We also look at workflow processes!
In this session we go deep into the PMO Analyst role and roles and responsibilities - what makes a good PMO Analyst through competences, knowledge, skills, behaviours and character. We also looked at the daily, weekly and monthly work done and what it takes to balance tasks and activities. We also looked at career paths - the beauty of working in the PMO space is that its not always a linear path, which makes for lots of fun and interest along the way.

If you're working in a place like that - great! You're probably learning a lot and enjoy seeing the success the PMO has. On the other hand, sometimes working in a less mature project management organisation that has a myriad of challenges is the kind of opportunity that some PMO practitioners love.
The career path in PMO is not as simple as moving up the ladder from administrator to analyst, manager and director. We have many different types of PMO contexts we could be working in; different sizes and types of projects, programmes and portfolios we could be supporting; different industries and specialisms within PMO and project management.
In other words, we have a lot of options and opportunities.
In this session, we took a look at career paths - career plans and career strategies. Hopefully it gives you food for thought.
