Top Tips for PMOs Working with Agile
At the end of February, Ticketmaster International hosted the latest PMO Mini-Masterclass on Agile PMO in Practice. With 40 PMO practitioners in the bar (yes they have a bar!), the evening kicked off with John McIntyre, Head of PMO at Ticketmaster organising and running the event in an Agile way. If you want to see the whole session, take a look at how you can do that here.
As each PMO Flashmobber arrived, they were asked what they wanted to get out of the event – creating a product backlog – which drove the agenda for the evening.
With the first half of the evening the PMO Flashmobbers wanted to understand more about the concepts of Agile and how they manifest themselves in a real example. They learnt about self-organising teams, sprints, interations, retrospectives and burn down charts.
In the second part of the evening – Sprint Two, the session was all about the “PMO supporting Agile”. So what top tips did John share during this part of the evening? What does the PMO actually do when it is supporting Agile projects?

POSTPONED – Measures for Assuring Projects
Virtual Event
POSTPONED – Measures for Assuring Projects
Assurance is all about providing confidence to the Exec, sponsor and stakeholders that the project, programme and/or portfolio remains under control, on track to deliver and aligned with the organisation’s strategic objectives.
The PMO can provide a number of supporting services around assurance. In this session, we learn about measures – specifically the measure of confidence in the potential for a project or programme to succeed.
In this session, we’re joined by Assurance expert and House of PMO friend Roy Millard. Roy founded the APM Assurance Specific Group in 2008 and is still on the committee today.

Getting Started With Your PMO Self-Assessment
In this session, we take a look at carrying out a PMO self-assessment and what you need to get started. 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!

An exclusive House of PMO member event which takes place bi-monthly.
This hour session gives you the opportunity to take part in a session which is 100% focused on PMO careers.
You have the option to add a question of your own or just join in and take part in the career-related discussion.
In this session we take a look at your own skills levels and how to identify what your skills gaps are - we'll also take some time to work out how you can begin to close gaps too.
We all have something to share from our own personal experiences and we definitely take away something when we hear what has worked for others.
This session is open to anyone interested in career management – at any level of PMO experience – and within any role.
