Project, Programme and Portfolio Offices (P3O® ) Foundation & Practitioner eLearning

Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O®) is the standard developed by the UK government to enable individuals and organizations to establish, develop and maintain appropriate business support structures. The guidance brings together a set of principles, processes and techniques to facilitate effective portfolio, programme and project management by proposing proven enabling and support structures, roles and responsibilities. These structures also bridge the gap between the process of developing the organisation’s strategy and that of its delivery.

This blended i-learning course covers the latest version released in 2013 and prepares delegates for the Foundation and Practitioner examination.
