May 12th Webcast: Critical Components of Effective PMOs. 3 of 6

Steve Romero's third IT Governance Enablement Webinars entitled Critical Components of Effective PMOs has been confirmed to broadcast live at 4PM GMT on the 12th of May, 2009.

Many organizations have established Project Management Offices (PMO) with the hope of improving project results. Despite the wide scale proliferation of these PMOs, many have had limited success. A well sanctioned and chartered PMO can overcome these struggles and greatly improve portfolio management processes and most importantly, project performance.

This webcast describes how a PMO needs to be much more than the keeper of methodology and the enforcer of project management processes, including an overview of:

- Portfolio and project management business issues
- The relationship between the PMO and Portfolio Management
- The major objectives of a PMO
