QRP International has a long experience in organizing training for project, programme and portfolio managers. QRP has assisted many professionals and their organization in setting up and running a PMO.
Following training is a first step in getting inspired. Translating this inspiration into practice is the second step and in traditional training, this is not part of a course and each delegate is left alone. The road to successfully implementing what you have learned is often hard and lonely as a strategic PMO is just a few (or even one) person(s) within a large organisation.

QRP International has a long experience in organising training and consultancy for project, programme and portfolio managers. QRP has assisted many professionals and their organisations in setting up and running a PMO. In this way, QRP has also supported these professionals and organisations to stream their P3M (project, programme and portfolio) processes.
WHY THIS EVENT
In recent years many professionals and organisations are moving into agile ways of working at every level. Agile nowadays is used not only in the delivery phase but also at project, programme and strategic level. A framework often mentioned in this Agile transition is SAFe.
SAFe® (Scaled Agile Framework®) is an agile management framework for large organisations already having agile practices in place and is one of the most popular Agile Frameworks. It is aimed at bigger organisations that want to scale their current Agile practices and go fully Agile.
With this event we want to open the discussion among various organisations that have already started or are thinking about starting to adopt more agile ways of working. In this way we make the event accessible for professionals and organisations at every stage of their Agile journey.

You have followed the course, passed the exam and are now a proud owner of an ITIL certificate. But what do you do next, how do you actually apply ITIL on a daily basis? ITIL is created to adopt and adapt, to tailor to your organisation, but that is easier than said. That is why we organize these user groups; getter the users together.
Implementing a new IT Service Management tool: our ITIL-inspired journey
A few years ago we realised that our ticketing tool was no longer aligned with the scope of services we wanted to offer to our ever-evolving customers. We will share the story of our change to a new solution and how we aligned this solution to our ITIL-practices.
Furthermore, we will give you a glimpse in our future developments and how the tool will support continual improvements in our ITIL journey. This last point will be the subject of the workgroups.
Purpose of QRPs ITIL User Groups
The ITIL User Group is aimed at those with profound experience in ITIL. It is highly encouraged to share your own experiences/challenges in implementing ITIL. The ITIL User Group is made for professionals like you and we also count on your input during the session. QRP creates the platform and has a professional trainer assisting this session to provide support if needed.

DISCUSSION TOPICS 13TH EDITION
For a couple of years, Belnet has been working on resource management for project, programme and portfolio purposes. There have been some evolutions and bumps in the road and the ideal way of working has not been reached yet. But we have data that we can work with. It remains a work in progress and we always keep looking for new improvements!
Resource management in a PMO environment holds two aspects for us:
- Resource forecasting: to acquire dedicated resources for the upcoming and ongoing projects, the PM needs to draft a resource forecast for every project team member
- Correct estimation of the workload
- Planning of the different projects, depending on availability
- Resource actuals: collecting of the actual hours spend on the different projects
- Cost determination for customer projects
- Lead for future estimations
- Tooling to gather and analyze all this information
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP?
- Discuss your doubts and issues on setting up and running a PMO
- Discover practical solutions of others
