See all- What is Product Management?EPIC Innovation, Christchurch
And what’s its relationship with Project, Programme, and Portfolio Management?
Are you a little fatigued or tired with Project Management? Then Product Management could be the thing you pivot to next in your career!Presenter: Youssef Mourra, Founder & Principal Consultant, Nonsuch. Youssef Mourra | LinkedIn
He has over 30+ years’ experience in Project, Programme, Product, and Portfolio Management (P4M). He loves every aspect of the P4M world. He loves deconstructing any pomposity that goes with P4M and always ensures his presentations are accessible, interesting, and entertaining. Please come along and learn more about the slightly alternate world of Product Management. He’ll help you understand what Product Management is and how it is different to Project, Programme, and Portfolio Management. He’ll also show all four work and play nicely together.PMOs and EPOs. Are they still of use and are they providing value to their organisations?
Panel: We take it for granted that any organisation of a size that has monies and ambition set aside to change their organisation or take up strategic opportunities would set up a Project Management Office (PMO) and/or Enterprise Portfolio Office (EPMO). We’ve been doing this for decades. But the time might be to check in and ensure there is not only a role for the PMO/EPO but that they are still providing value or otherwise to their host organisation. Come along and throw some questions at the panel no matter how tricky!
