More and more companies are beginning to implement Strategic Management Offices or Transformation Management Offices instead of an Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO), why is that?  Well one key element of this is Agile.  Companies and organizations alike what to be agile, flexible, able to deal with change in an ever changing, fast-paced global climate.  They see an EPMO as rigid, formal, and structured which in most cases are the direct opposite attributes of a truly agile organization correct?  Well maybe not!  In this article let’s explore some of the concepts that are important to remember about project management techniques and why elements of an EPMO are still appropriate and valuable for your Strategic or Transformation Management Offices to incorporate.

For the last two years the Danish PMI chapters has been providing free of charge CAPM training for young professionals. Young professionals are people just finish or finished their degree recently, so this really matters. Now more than 50 participants have completed the course and provided them with a great introduction to PMI and their working career. The training is conducted by PMI chapter members strictly on voluntary basis.

Right now, we are looking for more seasoned PMI professionals who would take part. Taking part meaning that you need to prepare the training, likely one knowledge area and conduct the training which may take a few hours. The trainers are seasoned PMI professionals not professional trainers. We have trainers who will guide you and partners to train with, so you are not all alone. The requirements are simple, a PMI certification and spring 2019 the time to put in the effort. We promise you in return a great opportunity to learn and meet an amazing group of young professionals. This is your opportunity to share your knowledge and give back. Contact us for more details on info@pmi-dk.org
