Description
Get ready to revolutionize your project delivery and operations! This eLearning course will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the agile mindset, values, principles and methods, along with how to initiate your Agile transformation and operationalize it. You'll learn how to apply these concepts directly towards transforming a current Operations, Enterprise Delivery Organization, or Project Management Office (PMO) into its idealized future form - giving it unprecedented power for successful development & delivery across industries. Dive deep into frameworks, methods, tools & techniques that enable you to create effective roadmaps while maintaining quality changes throughout Project Management Offices (PMOs).
This online course is designed to support participants in understanding the agile mindset and principles and how they can apply these concepts to transform their PMO to the future state: Agile PMO. This course applies to everyone who wants to transform their organization to be more agile. This course is intended for people who want to learn about agile methods and apply an agile mindset to broader project organizations.
The agile transformation is the future of development and delivery. You will learn how to make this happen in your organization no matter what state you are currently operating within! We’ll discuss all things related to agile management, including frameworks, methods, tools, and tips on transformation, creating an effective vision and roadmap while delivering quality changes throughout the process.
By the end of this course, you should be comfortable applying agile practices in your team or leading project managers and teams effectively and efficiently. You will learn how to apply agile concepts to transform your department and how to operationalize. This course material also supports you in being successful as an individual agile practitioner across industries and organizations who continue to adopt agile frameworks no matter what phase of transformation they are going through! It provides guidance for the professional development of the individual practitioner. It also supports agile practitioners in being successful in any transformation activities across industries as organizations continue to adopt agile frameworks.
As an important reminder, agility is not a destination but a journey that we’re excited for you to embark on. We hope the Agile Project Management Office (PMO) Course helps make your journey a success!
Just so you know, when we are talking about PMO, we are including Project, Program and Portfolio under the same umbrella: PMO. In addition, your department might be called an "Enterprise Delivery Organisation" or some other name; in this context, it does not matter. This course is for you if your department oversees projects and/or works with project teams.

An experienced executive coach with over 25 years of project delivery experience. I guide executives, portfolio, program and project leaders and teams to build their project capability and lead sustainable project transformations.
I am a business transformation expert who has worked with some of the world's leading brands to improve their performance. I've helped organizations across industries such as GM, Burger King and TD Bank succeed in our changing market conditions by ensuring everyone from boardroom CEO’s middle management down is on board-or at least aware of what needs doing.
I have a unique blend of skills that I bring to the table. Evaluating individuals and organizations for their effectiveness, understanding many different modes of coaching and how each individual operates differently in terms of style and philosophy sets me apart from other coaches, even though my title might not suggest so at first glance!
I excel at making sure everyone learns quickly while executing their tasks/roles throughout the organization. Because you can't just tell people what to do and expect them to do it. You have to work with them, listen to them, and understand them. And sometimes, even when you do all of that, things don't go the way you want them to. But that's okay; my patience-tested knowledge about how best to work with people when managing projects taught me when to take a step back and let others take the lead. That’s why I am always providing my clients with a unique perspective and view, leveraging the best practices from global leading organizations at the forefront of figuring out how to succeed in any situation.
Business adoptions and transformations are often complex. However, going through the adoption process is significantly more complicated than it seems at first glance. There’s a set order to these steps that need completion in just the right fashion if you want your business transformation or digital change efforts to succeed! For over two decades now, I've been working with clients who have needed help adapting their way of thinking as well as doing work on different occasions. My experience has given me an excellent understanding of how crucial this specific sequence can become when trying out something new within any industry, not only those involving technology (businesses).
I work as a consultant, coach, facilitator, and trainer. Authored and taught Project Management, Agile & DevOps, Problem-solving, and Power-skills related subjects through public and private courses, coaching business and technology professionals on Project Management, Agile, DevOps, and Digital Transformation.
A frequent speaker at various project management conferences and events, such as PMI Global Conferences.
