What is P3O®?

3 P’s – Portfolio, Programme & Project, together, these 3 disciplines, help to ensure an organisation’s strategy is delivered appropriately.

A P3O^® model provides a decision enabling and delivery support structure for all change within an organisation, whether large or small.

It is an office or structure where an organisation’s Business Change Projects and Programmes come together
to ensure:

• The correct or best programmes and projects are selected and prioritised to ensure strategic objectives are
   being achieved

• They ensure the organisation has the capacity and capability to deliver the selected programmes and
   projects, which means, on occasion that they need to stop some programmes or projects that do not contribute
   to strategy

• They ensure programmes and projects deliver the benefits needed to achieve strategic objectives

• They provide help and guidance for consistent standardised documentation and processes so that
   the organisation’s performance can continually improve
