Episode 087: The Hidden Cost of Project Management Training

Published: April 5, 2007, 11 p.m.

This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story presents, "The Hidden Cost of Project Management Training," presented by Mark Perry (about Mark), host of The PMO Podcast™. As you plan for the project management training needs of your team, make sure that you get the most of your investment by ensuring that your training mix addresses both foundation knowledge as well as actionable and retainable execution skills. Otherwise, you might end up spending more for more your team’s training than they have the ability to effectively realize, and that is the hidden cost of project management training.

The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo warns, “Houston, we have a problem!" So what is the problem with Houston? I will tell you what is the problem. Those ever so friendly folks from Houston, when they sit behind the steering wheel of a car, SUV, or truck, they transform and turn into absolutely crazy, wild-eyed, maniacs. You might think I am exaggerating, but believe you me I am not.

The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag answers a listener question about putting together a project management training plan for the PMO.
