PMO LIG News – November 2009

What happened to the PMO LIG?

The PMO LIG took a hiatus during the summer to determine what the next steps are in the evolution of this venue.  Many of the volunteers that had helped get this group started had fallen away, and the burden was immense for the remaining volunteers.

Decisions About the Future of the PMO LIG

The new committee has made some decisions about the PMO LIG.  We are reconfiguring the PMO LIG to encompass the entire journey an organization can take in order to produce and effective Portfolio Management Office.  Namely, we will tie in the Project Management Office, the Program Office, and the Portfolio Management Office as part of the overarching plan for the PMO LIG.  This will allow PMI CVC members to choose the topics of direct interest to their current situation, as well as offer the opportunity to learn about the other topics of interest.

The general flow will be periodic meetings that will blend discussions on these three topics, with a speaker or presenter to go into detail on one of these topics at each meeting.

Stay Tuned for Future Events

The PMO LIG will hold monthly events on the 4th Wednesday of each month.  The first event is tentatively scheduled for January 27th, 2010.  The first event will have a panel of speakers discussing Project Management Offices in their organizations.  Watch for the announcement and registration on the PMI CVC website soon.
