This presentation explores how organizational project managers can leverage involvement in the Business Development (BD) life cycle to create reduced risk for program delivery.

In particular, the presentation will introduce OPM Community members to Version 2.0 of the Capability Maturity Model® for Business Development (BD-CMM) and show how it can be used to establish continuity with practices advocated in PMI’s Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3).

In exploring the connections between BD-CMM and OPM3, the discussion will explore industry experience in improving BD performance and how this positions programs for reduced risk and greater success during delivery.

Participants will take away an enhanced strategy for building, deploying, and leveraging an end-to-end approach to managing their organization’s overall business life cycle.

Establishing a PMO (Project/Program/Portfolio Management Office) is considered to be a best practice approach to improving the value an organization can receive from its project investments.

Why is it then, that a study, conducted in 2005, of 750 organizations worldwide indicated that over 75% of organizations that set up a PMO shut it down within three years because it did not demonstrate any added value?

Solution Q invites you to attend a webinar where you will learn key reasons why so many PMOs fail, and gain some valuable knowledge of the critical success factors required to ensure the survival of your PMO.

Who should attend this webinar?
Managers/Directors of PMOs, Project Managers
