The Agile PMO: Can It Really Exist? Does an Agile PMO really exist? Can it? How would it work? This session will answer these questions and bring together two seemingly opposing concepts. We'll go back to basics to understand the fundamental purpose of PMOs, and how they benefit projects and organizations. Once we recognize the overall mission and vision of an Agile PMO, we will design a PMO Charter that will show how it adds value. Finally, we'll discuss how to gain buy-in for such a critical function. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs. Each professional development activity yields one PDU for one hour spent engaged in the activity. Some limitations apply and can be found in the Ways to Earn PDUs section that discusses PDU activities and associated policies. Fractions of PDUs may also be reported. The smallest increment of a PDU that can be reported is 0.25. This means that if you spent 15 minutes participating in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.25 PDU. If you spend 30 minutes in a qualifying PDU activity, you may report 0.50 PDU.

Know Your Leadership Compass Business leaders, managers, and directors may be brilliant leaders in one situation and may not have the same results in another.
