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.

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.
