Live Webinar July 19th, 2011 – 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT

Sponsored by: Global Consulting CoP (REP #S029)

The webinar will show the Basic concepts of Integrated Project, Program and Portfolio Management (OPM) and PMI’s OPM based maturity model OPM3.

OPM as a concept, changes isolated heroic project managers into evangelists for an integrated organizational project management approach. This transition is certainly the most significant change that organizations can do. OPM3 as continuous maturity model focuses on real benefits instead of implementing something, just to complete a maturity degree. It focuses on strategic alignment instead of traditional time, cost, scope and quality measure.

After the Webinar, participants should be able to::

• Understand OPM – What it is & its relevance for strategic alignment
• Understand how to improve organizational maturity in terms of OPM
• Understand the benefit realization, using OPM3 and its tools OPM3 SAM (Webtool) and OPM3 ProductSuite

Note: You do have to be a PMI® member to register for this opportunity.
