Building a Best Practice PMO - How do you build a PMO that drives business value and benefits realization?

If you already have a PMO, what can you do to ensure the business is getting the “right value” from its investment in the PMO?  If you are just in the process of designing the new organization, how can you make certain that you are aligning your services with the needs of your business partners?

And how do you successfully implement the new organization in a way that models best implementation and organizational change management practices?  

In this one hour webinar presented jointly by Tom Mochal, President and Founder of TenStep, and David Nielson, Managing Director of Implementation Management Associates (IMA), we will share practical tips and techniques you can apply in your own organization.  

Implementing Project Management in Your Organization - Organizations have goals and strategies to help them reach their future state. Projects are the way to achieve these goals and strategies. (Support and operations are important, but they do not help you reach your future state.) This makes it essential that your organization is able to execute projects successfully.

This webinar is focused on helping organizations successfully execute projects by implementing scalable project management practices. It is interesting and informative - perhaps even eye-opening. We will also spend a few minutes describing how TenStep can help companies in this important effort.

Implementing Value-Add, Scalable Project Management Processes - Project management processes must provide value to a project, and the way to make sure that they provide value is to make sure they are scalable. Large projects need more rigorous processes. Small projects need lighter, agile processes.  This webinar will explore the concept of implementing value-added, scalable project management processes. It is a must-view webinar for PMOs and organizations trying to implement good project management without getting too bureaucratic.

Management's Role in a Project Driven Culture -  Most organizations implement project management in an ad-hoc manner. These organizations focus on the project managers and provide them with training and templates. This is a good start, but it is not going to result in a strong project-driven culture. In fact, the majority of problems encountered in culture change initiatives of this type originate in the management ranks. These managers typically think it is up to the project managers to deploy project management successfully, but in reality the success or failure of the initiative is within their control. All of the management hierarchy has a key role to play in ensuring their organizations successfully implement the project management discipline. This webinar describes the role of management in creating this project-driven culture.

Measuring the Value of a PMO - The PMO Scorecard -  We often state that a PMO must provide value to the organization or else it is likely to be cut or eliminated. Many PMOs struggle trying to show this value. This is generally for two reasons.

• First, many PMOs simply don’t provide much value. Therefore it is hard to justify the work that the PMO performs.

• The second reason, and probably more common, is that the PMO is providing value, but it has a hard time articulating and measuring the value provided.

If you fit this second category (providing value but don’t know how to measure) this webinar will help.

Now is the Time to Assess for Success - Organizations all over the world are trying to get better at project management. For the vast majority of companies this means using their own employee backgrounds and experiences to map a course for improvement. This approach is fine but it also limiting. Different people have different views for what an optimized project management organization looks like.

In this webinar we will discuss assessments in general, and three models in particular - OPM3 from PMI, aPRO from asapm and CMMI. You will learn the value associated with an organization assessment, plus an overview of these three project management standards.

Portfolio Management Demystified - No company has the resources to meet all of its business needs. This is true in the best of times. It certainly is even truer when times are tough. Even if your company is a rare one that has all the money it needs, you definitely do not have the people to complete everything you would like. Portfolio management is a process to ensure that your company spends its scarce resources on the work that is of the most value to your company, and work that is most closely aligned to your business goals and strategies.

This webinar shows attendees the many aspects of portfolio management that must be understood before the concepts can be deployed.

Successfully Marketing Your Project Management Office - Let's face it - many Project Management Offices (PMOs) are not providing true value to their organizations. On the other hand, many PMOs are providing value, but they are not articulating the value to their organization. The result is that the PMOs are considered overhead and are first in line for cutting when budgets are tightened. In this web seminar, we  discuss why PMOs need to do a better job in value-based communication. We describe the framework for creating a Communication Plan for the PMO. The Communication Plan will balance fact-based status information as well as proactive and positive marketing messages to emphasize the value of the PMO. We also provide examples of the type of communication that is value based - not activity based.
