Questions
Questions
Thank you to everybody who took the time to type in
a question. Where possible we have consolidated
questions and addressed them as follows:
1. Generic questions on the APM Competence
Framework – answered on the following slides
2. Specific questions on how the PMO role profiles
can be used – answered on the following slides
3. Generic PMO questions – these have been
posted in the APM PMOSIG LinkedIn group.
1 - Generic questions on the APM
Competence Framework
• The 29 RPP competences are aligned to the original
APM Competence Framework. In due course, they
will be updated in line with the 2nd edition.
How do the 27 PMO competences align
with the 29 RPP competences?
• Any experience within the previous five years (in
your current or previous organisation) should be
recorded on your self assessment. Details of the
experience can be included in the evidence column.
Can self-assessment include experience
from previous roles?
(cont/ . . .)

2 - Specific questions on how the PMO
roles profiles can be used
• The APM have created 14 role profiles which are all based on the
same 27 competences:
• 4 Project Management roles
• 3 Programme Management roles
• 3 Portfolio Management roles
• 4 PMO roles
What other role profiles are there?
• Yes. Each service will be underpinned by one or more of the
competences. A tailored role profile can be produced where
competences for all the services are included but some of the
competences are optional.
Can the role profiles be applied when the PMO
provides different services to different teams?
(cont/ . . .)
2 - Specific questions on how the PMO
roles profiles can be used
• Organisations will continue to create job titles and descriptions to
suit their particular requirements. The APM (and P3O) have tried
to standardise the naming conventions and hopefully these will
become more commonplace.
Given the confusion of what PMO stands for and
the various roles, are there plans to simplify this?
• The structure is currently supporting a community of 1100 (PPM
and operational areas). The structure (with more people in it) will
eventually be rolled out to support a community of 30,000.
What is the size of the community supported by the
structure Simon discussed?
• These two roles are the same.
How does the APM PMO Analyst relate to P3O®

  • 29. Questions Thank you to everybody who took the time to type in a question. Where possible we have consolidated questions and addressed them as follows: 1. Generic questions on the APM Competence Framework – answered on the following slides 2. Specific questions on how the PMO role profiles can be used – answered on the following slides 3. Generic PMO questions – these have been posted in the APM PMOSIG LinkedIn group.
  • 30. 1 - Generic questions on the APM Competence Framework • The 29 RPP competences are aligned to the original APM Competence Framework. In due course, they will be updated in line with the 2nd edition. How do the 27 PMO competences align with the 29 RPP competences? • Any experience within the previous five years (in your current or previous organisation) should be recorded on your self assessment. Details of the experience can be included in the evidence column. Can self-assessment include experience from previous roles? (cont/ . . .)
  • 31. 1 - Generic questions on the APM Competence Framework • The 29 RPP competences are aligned to the original APM Competence Framework. In due course, they will be updated in line with the 2nd edition. How do the 27 PMO competences align with the 29 RPP competences? • Any experience within the previous five years (in your current or previous organisation) should be recorded on your self assessment. Details of the experience can be included in the evidence column. Can self-assessment include experience from previous roles?
  • 32. 2 - Specific questions on how the PMO roles profiles can be used • The APM have created 14 role profiles which are all based on the same 27 competences: • 4 Project Management roles • 3 Programme Management roles • 3 Portfolio Management roles • 4 PMO roles What other role profiles are there? • Yes. Each service will be underpinned by one or more of the competences. A tailored role profile can be produced where competences for all the services are included but some of the competences are optional. Can the role profiles be applied when the PMO provides different services to different teams? (cont/ . . .)
  • 33. 2 - Specific questions on how the PMO roles profiles can be used • Organisations will continue to create job titles and descriptions to suit their particular requirements. The APM (and P3O) have tried to standardise the naming conventions and hopefully these will become more commonplace. Given the confusion of what PMO stands for and the various roles, are there plans to simplify this? • The structure is currently supporting a community of 1100 (PPM and operational areas). The structure (with more people in it) will eventually be rolled out to support a community of 30,000. What is the size of the community supported by the structure Simon discussed? • These two roles are the same. How does the APM PMO Analyst relate to P3O® PMO Analyst (cont/ . . .)
  • 34. It’s not too late to sign up . . .
