MoP Exam Preparation

Management of Portfolios (MoP® ) complements the suite of related PPM guidance developed by Best Management Practice to help organizations and individuals to use Best Practice to manage projects, programmes and services consistently and effectively. MoP® focuses on strategic investment decision-making and integrates seamlessly with all other best practice methodologies. It is highlighted throughout MoP ® that whilst portfolio management will be more effective where robust programme and project management (PPM) exists, this is not a prerequisite. There is, however one exception; the need for some form of P3O ® or Portfolio Office model (either physical or virtual) that provides portfolio information to senior management is mandated. Audience This  event is suitable for senior managers and practitioners who need guidance to help them set up and run portfolio management. It describes portfolio management in its strategic and organizational context and examines the principles and practices that ensure programmes and projects remain aligned to strategic objectives. 　 During the course, delegates will have the opportunity to try out the application of their existing MoP® knowledge to a typical scenario and objective tests. The course consists of practical sessions, delivered by an APM Group approved trainer with practical experience of portfolio, programme and project management. This course guides the application of MoP® , it is not intended to provide grounding in the guidance itself, which would have been covered in the Foundation course and exam. Learning Objectives The key objectives of this event are: To provide Delegates with an overall understanding of the principles and practices in MoP ® that enable individuals and organizations (large or small) to successfully introduce or re-energise Portfolio Management approaches. To understand the strategic context of portfolio, programme and project management.
