This training is designed for Agile Project Management Offices (Agile PMOs) and offers solutions that, combined with project organizations, provide an adapted response to project management with implications at the business and supported functions levels of companies.
The training revolves around the PMO training simulator (or a business case), which allows learners to be placed in a real-life situation. The training relies on a simulator that serves as a common thread throughout the program. This pedagogical approach allows the practical application of the theoretical content through associated exercises. Ongoing evaluations ensure a continuous verification of knowledge acquisition.
