Description
Why I Created This Course — and What You’ll GainIf you’ve ever wondered what a PMO really means or how to set up one that drives results, this course is for you. Its goal is simple: to help you understand, build, and manage a high-performing Project Management Office (PMO) that connects strategy with execution.

You’ll learn the complete PMO setup checklist—from defining your PMO’s purpose to implementing governance frameworks—and discover how to transform a PMO into a strategic partner that delivers measurable business value.

After years in banking, corporate projects, and professional training, I noticed most PMOs were treated as administrative units rather than strategic enablers. This course bridges that gap. Through real-world insights, proven frameworks, and ready-to-use tools, you’ll learn how to set up a PMO step by step.
