🏢 Inside the PMO
What it’s really like to work within a Project Management Office, how PMOs operate, and yes — a few trade secrets.

💬 Open Q&A
Submit your questions in advance or bring them live — no judgment, just practical advice (and probably a few sarcastic metaphors).

Materials: You will be provided with the following materials post session:

• 30-Day “Experience Fast” Project Management Checklist

• PMO Learning & Certifications Pathways: Building Skills for Today and Tomorrow
