Overview

Introduction

The Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O®) guidance provides advice, supported by discussion and examples, on how to develop a governance structure that helps optimize an organization’s investment in change alongside its Business as Usual work.
The purpose of the Practitioner qualification is to confirm whether the candidate has achieved sufficient knowledge and understanding of the P3O guidance to design, implement, manage or work within any component office of a P3O model. A successful candidate will have an overall understanding of the elements, roles, functions and tools and techniques deployed in a generalised P3O model.

Learning Objectives

Candidates need to exhibit the competences required for the Foundation qualification and to show that they could apply P3O guidance to the design, implementation and management of a P3O model. Specifically, they need to demonstrate their ability to:

  • Develop the business case required to obtain senior management approval for the P3O
  • Identify and build the most appropriate P3O model, which will adapt to the organization’s needs, taking account of the organization’s size and portfolio, programme and project management maturity
  • Identify the most appropriate roles required to populate a specified P3O structure
  • Plan the implementation of a P3O
  • Choose and use appropriate tools and techniques while running the P3O and advising those who shape the portfolio of programmes and projects

Recommended Participants

P3O Practitioner qualification is targeted for those who:

  • Aspire to join a portfolio, program, or project office environment
  • Are new to a portfolio, program, or project office environment
  • Consider deploying or reconfiguring the P3O model
  • Are involved to delve into optimization of the strategic decision making
