In this PMO Career Hour session, we brought together a small group of PMO practitioners who were interested in exploring other ways to develop themselves that doesn't break the bank.
We looked at the 70-20-10 model of learning sources - with the large majority of our learning coming from 'on-the-job'.
We also looked at cheaper ways to learn about the many different subjects that impact the PMO role but the same challenge always emerges - it's not necessarily about having a budget to take up learning opportunities, the biggest challenge we have is making the time.
That's a motivation that has to come from yourself, making learning a habit rather than an afterthought.
Take a look at the session recorded after the event (we don't record these career sessions so people feel comfortable talking freely) and the session notes.

We continue our weekly PMO Flashmob meetups on a Wednesday (with the delightful HotPMO as co-host!).
Each week (even now eight, nine weeks later) feels slightly out of control as we have group chats; breakout sessions; quick-fire presentations; using different collaborative tools; show-and-tells and the odd jingle thrown in there.
We started it, well, because we knew we wouldn't be in our usual haunts (aka pubs) for a while and we would miss chatting to others and sharing stuff like we normally do.
Over the past couple of months so far in lockdown we've learnt together - especially how to get on in the virtual world - and how our work might be changing now and in the future. Sometimes we've gone for themes, sometimes not.
In this post, we share the outcomes from a session about development.
In it we kick off with a ten-in-ten (10 slides, 10 minutes); then onto a crowdsourced view of what development people have undertaken (taken across four different levels of roles); a chat about what's been useful in their development and finally, what further development people are looking to do.
