There are numerous barriers one must overcome in order to successfully create and implement a fully functional PMO.

The identifi cation of real life examples will create a learning atmosphere that resonates with participants while at the same time providing immediate return on your training investment. Using interactive exercises that employ actual projects or scenarios from your organization, instructors can address specifi c challenges and align the curriculum of each session to your objectives.
