Lean and light PMO SIG spring conference

 THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED. TO BE PLACED ON THE WAITING LIST PLEASE CLICK HERE.

Lean & light PMO is the spring conference from the PMO Specific Interest Group.

Quick, light, nimble, lean and agile are just some of the words that we wouldn’t normally associate with PMOs but in this year’s spring conference we focus on adding value to the business when just enough is good enough.

The conference kicks off with an introduction to the Lean PMO from PMOSIG Chairman, Chris Walters. Setting the scene for the day we ask the question, “Is my PMO doing too much – and how can we balance how lean we become before the risks become unmanageable?”.

Pop-Up restaurants and shops became the de rigueur of 2011, venues that are temporary, Pop-Ups appear one day and are gone within weeks. Pop-Up PMOs from Sion Jones takes a look at what is needed when programmes and projects need a PMO ASAP. The blueprint to quickly set up and run a PMO; the lifecycle of the PMO; and when just enough is good enough to support urgent programmes and projects are all covered in this presentation with interactive sessions.

Quick Wins from PMOSIG favourite Peter Taylor -The Lazy Nimble PMO Manager – takes a look at what are quick wins in relation to PMOs. What are the tried and tested quick wins in relation to PMO set up or refreshing a PMO? If you had to focus on a few things in your PMO, what would you focus on, and how would you deliver them?

The fourth session of the day and we look at agile and agile PMO from Peter Measey. Peter takes us through an interactive session and presentation on two approaches – agile philosophy applied to PMOs and agility in services that the PMO offers.

Finally to round up the day and focus on our behavioural skills we look at Strategies for Creating Rapport Quickly from Dr Peter Parkes. This final session will leave delegates with an essential toolkit that allows you to build rapport quickly with key stakeholders building both short term and long term effective constructive relationships.

Throughout the day there will be opportunities to network and connect with other PMO professionals. The conference will also include the Annual General Meeting (AGM) - see details below.
