Visibility and insight are two key factors that require critical and timely decisions by managers and leaders across projects, programs, portfolios, and PMOs. When the required information is available, it empowers people at all levels to inform and guide key stakeholders.
No matter the position or level of a person in a PMO or PPP, targeted dashboards that provide both qualitative and quantitative data aligned with organizational strategy help to identify risks, recognize bottlenecks, and support in evaluating performance at all levels of the organization. With role-based dashboards, the information key stakeholders need is right at their fingertips and can be custom designed in a way that matches the demands of the decision maker.
This course is designed to help decision makers across projects, programs, portfolios, and PMOs to understand the benefits of dashboards, how to determine the KPIs for dashboards created for different levels and roles across PPP and PMOs, and how to keep enhancing them to match stakeholder requirements and impact success.

What our client say about us
It was a real eye-opener for me that allowed me to look into the PMO world from a different perspective. I understood the project, program, portfolio management in the context of PMOs.
Although i have been in this fiels for many years, this outstanding experience has introduced me to a new world full of unique experiences, opportunities and a great chance for personal growth.
I thought I had a good understanding of how to establish and manage PMOs, but the principles and ideas gained from the course proved the opposite!
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Core, Foundational, and Specialist certifications?
Each of the certification categories serve a difference purpose. The first category “PMO Core Certifications” shows that you have the competencies to design and build a service-orientated PMO with services that are needed by your project community. At the top-level (Expert) certification, you will have to show that you have the competencies to design and build one or more PMOs (called PMO topologies) within an integrated PMO Services topology. The second category of courses, called “Foundational certifications,” comprise of three certifications that are needed by everyone irrespective of whether you are a PMO or project team member or a PM/O director. The foundational courses are the techniques and tools of a trade, so they are needed by everyone including project professionals. The third category of certifications is called the “Specialist” certifications because they directly relate to the ability to offer PMO services. If a PMO service is planned, then the PMO needs to have the capability to offer them. There are over 20 specialist courses at the time of writing. These courses are also needed by project team members.
What are contact hours and how can I reach Specialist level 1?
AIPMO uses the term “contact hours” for its virtual courses. Contact hours include course instructions, time allocated for homework, and team exercises. Every course has allotted contact hours and once you pass the course exam, they will be accredited to your account. Once you have reached the threshold, you will be awarded the specialist level certification.
What is the difference between IPMO-F, IPMO-P, and IPMO-E?
These three certifications are part of the PMO core certifications. IPMO-F (Foundation) is for the PMO and project team members and covers topics around working in a PMO, and also working in a project team. It covers the lower part of the AIPMO Strategic Lifecycle framework.
IPMO-P (Practitioner) is for the PMO managers, project managers, and senior PMO and project team members. It covers topics on how to identify the need for a PMO and design, and how to justify and build a PMO and its services.
IPMO-E (Expert) is not for everyone. It is the top-level certification for PMO directors and consultants who are managing, consulting, or designing enterprise PMO topologies and PMO Service topologies.
I dont know which certification is right for me, how do I choose?
For now, it is best to ask one of our professionals. You can either call or chat online. They will be able to provide you expert advice to plan and advance your career.
Are there any discounts if I take more than one course?
Short answer, Yes. There are bundles shown on the website, but you can also call to ask if you can get a special discount. If you bring others to the course, then this will also be taken into consideration.
