Postscript for the Smaller PMO

The smaller PMO may not have the readily available funding or resources needed to establish a comprehensive project management training program. Similarly, a less mature project management environment may not recognize the immediate need for an elaborate approach to project management training. However, the smaller PMO should convey the necessity of project management training at every opportunity. It can begin to recognize training needs within the project management environment through simple and informal surveys, and it can identify the availability of training courses that would provide benefits to project participants. Furthermore, it can research and compile publicly available project management training and workshops as a means of providing early training solutions within the relevant organization. As organizational needs come into focus, the PMO can facilitate the implementation of a basic project management curriculum conducted on site.
