pmo careers

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.

During our time at Project Challenge, we presented to a PMO audience on the topic of "Challenges and Trends in a PMO Career". I presented three challenges related to finding new opportunities and Eileen Roden presented three challenges whilst in post as a PMO professional. For the second part we did the same but this time focused on the trends we're seeing. The presentation was well received - pitched at the right level for the audience - so it makes sense that we would want to share the presentation with you too. Here's the presentation, available through Prezi. Below you can access the two video presentations.
