PROJECT, PROGRAMME, PORTFOLIO, AGILE & CHANGE MANAGEMENT TRAINING COURSES

PRINCE2

PRINCE2

PRINCE2 is a recognised project management method, and a PRINCE2 training course builds understanding of its step by step approach to managing a project. The method is built on seven principles and seven practices, which are applied throughout a project lifecycle defined by seven processes. The principles establish the foundations of good practice, while the practices describe the key concepts, roles, documents, and techniques that must be maintained from project start to closure.

These principles and practices are applied with the support of PRINCE2’s processes. These processes outline a sequence of activities and recommended steps are designed to aid project teams in the apply PRINCE2’s principles and practices and therefore align to good practice project management.

It allows practitioners to choose the right elements of the Praxis Framework to apply to either a project or programme, which is determined based on initiative complexity.

Project Portfolio Management

A portfolio represents the full set of an organisation’s change initiatives. A structured project portfolio management approach strengthens decision making around which initiatives to invest in, improves alignment between strategy and delivery, and builds capability across the organisation’s broader business change ecosystem.

PRINCE2 Programme Management / MSP – Managing Successful Programmes

MSP

PRINCE2 Programme Management (MSP) is a framework that describes management principles, governance themes and lifecycle process model to support the definition, delivery and closure of a programme. It is comprehensive in its nature, often seen as a leading reference for programme management. People seeking a comprehensive understanding of a single framework for programme management will gain value from understanding and applying MSP through our MSP certification training.

Portfolio, Programme, Project Offices (P3MO)

In a project environment, the term ‘PMO’ may be in reference to a ‘Program Management Office (PMO)’, though the ‘P’ may equally refer to ‘project’ or ‘portfolio’. Demystifying the confusion between the 3 office types, P3MO training provides a clear understanding of the 3 office levels: Portfolio, Programme, Project.

Our P3MO training program is designed build a clear understanding of how to design, implement, re-energise and operate effective management offices. The training outlines the roles, functions and services in each office, and provides a practical plan for developing an office model that fits the organisation’s business context.

Change agents play an important role supporting change at the ‘local’ level, ensuring change plans are understood and the desired changes are embraced as the new way of working.The Certified Local Change Agent qualification (CLCA Certificate) is aligned with the APMG Change Management Foundation and Practitioner program, though designed specially to support change agents to be successful during transformational change.This course is aimed at individuals required to play an active role directly supporting their colleagues and managers during change. If you are in a dedicated role or considering a role actively managing a change initiative, you may wish to consider the APMG Change Management course, which provides a greater range of models and approaches to support change.

WHAT IS PROGRAMME, PORTFOLIO AND AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT?

Programme Management

Programme management is the structured coordination of multiple projects with supporting change activities to realise a shared vision and deliver benefits that advance the organisation’s strategic priorities.

Portfolio Management

Portfolio management is the discipline of making strategic decisions about the design and delivery of an organisation’s portfolio of projects and programmes.

A core focus of portfolio management is to create a balanced and achievable portfolio that supports strategic goals, and to enable its delivery through governance, controls and support that are appropriate to the organisation’s context and ability to integrate change.

Agile Project Management

Agile project management applies agile ways of working to help teams deliver project outputs faster and realise benefits sooner. Agile environments focus on iterative development and releasing work in small, incremental steps. Many modern projects now use elements of agile management as they aim for quicker delivery and more responsive product development.

Our agile project management short courses introduce a practical set of agile behaviours, practices and techniques, supported by project management processes tailored for agile delivery. A key advantage of agile project management is that iterative development happens within a more stable and controlled framework, helping teams deliver value sooner and with greater confidence.
