How can you know if the PMO Global Alliance Certification Program is right for you?

PMOGA Managing Director at PMI. Leading the world's largest global community of PMOs and PMO professionals at the Project Management Institute.
The PMOGA certification program is not for those looking for quick guides or standards for PMOs; and I will tell you why.
With more than 14,000 members in over 120 countries, PMOGA is the leading community focused on making PMOs become valuable assets for their organizations.
Extensive experience in the PMO trenches has led PMOGA to believe that no single PMO model, PMO type, or PMO standard can provide all the answers needed to address real-world PMO challenges.?
Instead, PMOGA focuses on ensuring that our certified professionals have the skills to develop practical solutions for PMOs and bring real value to their organizations.?
Real-world experience shows that two of the most common and quickest ways to fail are to rely on the hottest new PMO model or to think that the complex PMO phenomenon can be standardized in a simple book.?
Don't get it wrong: they're not saying all those models and approaches are worthless. On the contrary, PMOGA believes these may be valuable points of view—but not magic pills—that may inspire us to develop our own solutions for PMOs in different contexts.?
When you hear about what a successful PMO MUST BE or MUST DO, keep in mind that PMOGA and its certificate holders believe that one of the most critical characteristics that successful PMOs seem to share is that they are (and must be!) different, adapting perfectly to the current needs of their organizations.?
Based on PMOGA's global community experience, if there is one statement about PMOs that we can rely on, it is that there are no right or wrong paths, but somewhat different perspectives and viewpoints that should be mixed to make each PMO unique, as long as it is fully adapted to the practical needs and expectations of its organization and customers.
That is what PMOGA and I consider generating value to be.?
PMOGA's PMO-CC? and PMO-CP? credential holders think that the success of PMOs is based on their unique characteristics.
They make custom solutions for each situation because they don't trust standards and models that look attractive at first glance but don't work in the real world.?
If you agree with this mindset, our two PMOGA certificates, based on PMOGA global community's collective experience, will open your mind, challenge your PMO beliefs, and significantly impact your career as a PMO Leader or PMO Consultant.?

2 年Totally agree. PMOGA elevates the view of PMO globally. I got an indepth and different perspective of PMO through these courses, which I'm applying in my professional role now. PMO is not just the operational activities, but the primary focus is on the value addition-benefits-results that PMO is meant for, and that is well stressed through these certifications. In simple terms, these certifications are Game Changers.
