Tuesday 11th November
Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh
A one-day learning event for you, the PMO practitioner, which focuses on the key challenge areas for PMOs today. A blend of large-scale classroom learning; workshops; exercises and quizzes.
Join your PMO peers for a great day of learning, facilitated and led by leading PMO trainers and experts.
Four Key PMO Challenge Areas - One Big Training Day
PMOLearn! take places on the 11th November 2025.
Each PMOLearn! features four key theme areas.
Each learning session features the theory and practical application approaches followed by classroom exercises.
It’s just like being in the largest PMO classroom training you’ve ever had.
The Complexity Matrix: The PMO Tool for Risk, Governance and Assurance
Not all projects are created equal – so why govern them as if they are?
This session reveals how the PMO uses the Complexity Matrix to tailor and support risk, governance, and assurance across projects in a way that’s proportionate, strategic, and actually supports delivery.
Learn how to:
-
Quickly assess a project’s true complexity
-
Apply proportional controls with confidence
-
Spot hidden risks before they derail delivery
A practical tool for PMOs who want to apply rigour where it counts and flexibility where it matters
The Art of Optioneering – The Options Workout
Struggling to justify one project over another? You’re not alone.
This hands-on session introduces the Options Framework from the Better Business Cases model, a practical, structured approach for surfacing, sorting, and selecting delivery options with evidence, not opinion.
You’ll learn how to:
- Build a compelling longlist (even the wild cards)
- Shortlist with clarity using structured logic
- Shape a robust preferred option, ready for economic appraisal
Perfect for PMO professionals supporting prioritisation, assurance, and business case development.
Expect practical tools, real-world examples, and a clear path to smarter, more defensible decisions.
Beyond Agile and Waterfall: How to Build Hybrid Methods
“Hybrid delivery” sounds great – until you have to do it.
This hands-on session gives you practical tools and step-by-step frameworks to combine methodologies with structure and confidence – not guesswork.
Through real-world examples, you’ll learn how to:
- Move beyond buzzwords and build fit-for-purpose hybrid models
- Apply clear distinctions between philosophy, framework, and method
- Tailor delivery approaches to your actual context – not someone else’s theory
Walk in with questions. Walk out with your own hybrid strategy, ready to use.
AI – PMO’s new Superpower
AI isn’t coming for your job – it’s coming for your to-do list.
This fast-paced, 90-minute lesson shows how modern AI tools – like reasoning models, deep research engines, and collaborative canvases – can give PMOs powerful new capabilities.
We’ll explore how AI helps PMOs:
- Make better decisions, faster
- Spot risks before they bite
- Engage stakeholders with scary levels of relevance
With live demos and real-world use cases, you’ll see how to apply generative AI to scenario planning, governance, and project insight- without losing control or your credibility.
Walk away with a clear-eyed view of what AI can (and can’t) do for your PMO – and how to start using it tomorrow.
