Testimonials
Nothing makes us happier than hearing how happy we make you!
“This QRP training course on P3O provides guidance on how to equip organizations with the structures, services, tools and techniques it needs to ensure consistent successful delivery of programmes and projects across the organization. The main focus is on implementing a P3O as a programme using the MSP methodology. When improving a P3O as a project, problems can arise when the capability is delivered but is not exploited effectively. This is a worthwhile study, but not to be taken lightly”
Tony Vynckier

“I followed the P3O training course provided by QRP and found exactly what I was looking after since almost 2 years. This training is a perfect complement to PRINCE2 and MSP when you start thinking about establishing a permanent office dealing with strategy and transformation. It has provided me the missing part of the Project Programme and Portfolio Management puzzle and a very good methodology to start engaging with my Senior Management”
