P3O Foundation case studies

The P3O Foundation certificate is a knowledge-level qualification in the Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O) guidance. P3O describes how organisations set up and run offices that support the delivery of change - from a single project office through to a portfolio-level function - and the Foundation exam tests whether you understand that guidance well enough to recognise and explain its concepts, rather than apply them unaided. It suits people who work in, alongside, or in support of such offices: office staff and managers, programme and project managers, business change and assurance roles, and anyone who needs a shared vocabulary for how support functions are structured and what they deliver. Expect questions spread across the guidance's main areas: P3O concepts and definitions; why a P3O is needed and the value it delivers; the models, structures and types of office; the functions and services an office provides; roles and responsibilities; and the implementation lifecycle with associated good practice. The P3O Foundation case studies are 5 cases and about 2,695 words.
