Whether a project is large or small, innovative or similar to other projects, governance and administrative support will be needed. The type of governance, and level of support, will vary considerably between projects of different types and complexity. This course, Project governance and Project Management Office (PMO), considers project governance and how we can tell if it is effective. Project administration may range from informal support to a dedicated PMO. We look at the tasks and support which a project manager might need and, if there is a PMO, how this fits with the relationship between project manager and the organisation.

It covers the key concepts of project governance, the different types of PMOs, and the benefits and challenges of having a PMO. The course also provides practical advice on how to set up and run a successful PMO.
I found the course to be very informative and well-structured. Dr. Hillson is an expert in project governance and he does a great job of explaining the concepts in a clear and concise way. The course also includes a number of case studies and exercises, which help to reinforce the learning. -
I recently completed the Project Governance and Project Management Office (PMO) course on Class Central, and it was an insightful experience. The course provided a clear understanding of governance structures, roles, and responsibilities within project environments. It emphasized the strategic importance of PMOs in aligning projects with organizational goals and improving overall efficiency. The content was well-structured, easy to follow, and enriched with practical examples. I now feel more confident in applying governance principles and managing project portfolios effectively. Highly recommended for anyone looking to strengthen their project management foundation.
