Course Overview
As agile delivery methods gain popularity at Portfolio, Program and Project Team levels in all sizes of organisations, the relevance of a traditional PMO has been called into question. However, consider the fundamental role of a PMO: to protect the investments that an organisation makes in strategic initiatives and projects to ensure the best possible value/outcomes are achieved. This is done via a series of frameworks and controls that provide appropriate rigour for the delivery method applied and ultimately provide input into key decision-making by executives.
Most organisations use a blend of Predictive (e.g. Waterfall) and Agile (e.g. Scrum, SAFe®) approaches to deliver initiatives. Today’s PMO must therefore be able to support a range of delivery approaches and will need to strike the right balance between having a clear governance structure and oversight, and allowing teams the flexibility to innovate, with a consistency of language.

This course aims to:
- Provide a practical guide for PMO Practitioners who are introducing agile to the delivery environment, or those wanting to uplift delivery outcomes in a Hybrid Delivery Environment (that supports both predictive and agile delivery teams).
- Outline a number of changes that PMOs will need to make when moving to a hybrid environment, along with a series of techniques and approaches that can be applied to achieve improvements both in the PMO and in the delivery community.
This course will enable participants to:
- Identify the critical success factors in establishing an effective Hybrid Agile PMO
- Implement practices that allow the organisation to effectively prioritise and manage a Hybrid Agile PMO portfolio
- Establish processes and practices that ensure the right level of accountability and governance is applied throughout projects
- Establish appropriate measures for each project to enable executives to make informed, data-driven decisions
- Provide a consistent reporting framework to provide real-time visibility into performance, financials, and investments
- Explore common challenges encountered when running a Hybrid Agile PMO
The course focuses on organisations that operate a Hybrid Delivery environment and assumes prior PMO knowledge.
The course does not provide details on how to setup/run a traditional PMO or how to do agile. Rather, the course offers a practical guide that can be used to achieve PMO and delivery-based improvements within your organisation.
This course is therefore aimed at PMO and other relevant Practitioners who are operating in a Hybrid Delivery Environment and those that have responsibility for:
- Delivery Oversight
- Application of PMO Controls and Services
- Provision of Support for the Delivery Community
Materials: A comprehensive participant workbook is provided.
