A P3O® model provides a decision enabling/delivery support structure for all change within an organisation.
This may be provided through a single permanent office which may exist under several different names eg. Portfolio Office, Centre of Excellence, Enterprise or Corporate Programme Office.
It may otherwise be provided through a linked set of offices (portfolio office, programme offices, project offices), both permanent (enabling/supporting business objectives and consistency of delivery) and temporary (enabling/supporting specific programmes and projects), providing a mix of central and localised services.
Course Structure
The P3O® Foundation Course (3 Days) and P3O® Practitioner Course (2 Days) provide participants with an extended theoretical and practical knowledge of P3Os.
They prepare participants for the P3O® Foundation Exam and the P3O® Practitioner Exam respectively.
The courses can be undertaken individually, as two separate courses, or as a single 5 day course which includes both of the examinations, the Foundation Exam on Day 3 and Practitioner Exam on Day 5.
The courses are facilitator led by an experienced Portfolio, Programme, Project and Risk Management (P3RM) Consultant, and participants undertake activities to ensure understanding of concepts and terminology. Self study is required for the exams.
