P3O® Foundation | MSP Training

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Various techniques have evolved over the recent years that have helped project managers in maintaining their projects. Frameworks such as Lean Six Sigma, TOGAF®, PMP®, and PRINCE2® etc. are quite known ones. A new framework came up in 2008 known as the P3O or the Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices that has since helped in project management. The P3O is desired framework by any project manager as it provides support for both programmes and projects.
