Hva er P3O?
P3O står for Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices og gir veiledning for hvordan organisasjoner kan etablere og drive effektive støtte- og styringsfunksjoner for porteføljer, programmer og prosjekter.
Hva lærer jeg på P3O Foundation?
Du lærer blant annet om ulike P3O-modeller, hvorfor en organisasjon kan ha behov for P3O, hvordan en P3O kan etableres eller videreutvikles, samt hvilke funksjoner, tjenester, verktøy og teknikker som brukes.
Trenger jeg forkunnskaper?
Nei, det er ingen formelle forkunnskapskrav. PRINCE2 Foundation anbefales imidlertid som et godt utgangspunkt.
Hva er forskjellen på P3O og PRINCE2?
PRINCE2 er en metode for prosjektledelse, mens P3O handler om strukturene og støttefunksjonene som bidrar til effektiv styring og gjennomføring av porteføljer, programmer og prosjekter.
Er sertifiseringseksamen inkludert?

Hva kan jeg ta etter P3O Foundation?
Etter Foundation kan du bygge videre med P3O® Practitioner, som går videre fra forståelse av P3O til anvendelse av veiledningen i praksis. Glasspaper tilbyr P3O Practitioner som et eget kurs.
