Management of Portfolios® Practitioner Certification

Project portfolio management ensures that your organization selects and manages the projects and programs which make the best contribution to your corporate objectives. Portfolio managers do this by establishing a clear line of sight between strategy and delivery of the portfolio.

MoP® helps organizations to:

  • Choose the right projects and programmes, delivering a measurable contribution to strategic objectives
  • Remove redundant and duplicate projects and programmes
  • Realize benefits that align with corporate strategy
  • Report effectively to improve transparency, accountability and corporate governance.

This Practitioner level course gives you the ability to analyze portfolio situations and apply best practice to make decisions using the MoP method. It is, therefore, suitable for senior managers responsible for the delivery of the corporate change portfolio.

Who should attend

  • C-level executives including: CFO, CAO, COO, CIO and Executive / Senior VP
  • Senior managers responsible for long term planning and strategy
  • Portfolio / Program Office staff who manage portfolio delivery or enable portfolio level decision making
  • Portfolio, Program and Senior Project Managers responsible for delivering change initiatives in the portfolio
