What are key resources on PMI that we should push out to our nascent PM community at our organization?

Leadership New Practitioners PMO

Leslie-Ann McGee Director of Special Projects| Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, Ma, United States

Starting our first PMO at our 1,100 employee non-profit research institution. Our Tools and Resources page is currently blank. We are looking for background, articles, forms/template, professional development, etc. What would you say are introductory resources and tools? We understand we can build this out over time but want to start with something. The PMI resources are SO vast and I would like to hear from the community what are the best. Assume our users have no idea what a PMO is or how project management can help them.

...

Thank you, I am starting to comb through the PMO Global Alliance. Do you have an specific suggestions on resources?

On their website, under resources, they have a decent amount of info categorized.

There is also The PMO Leader platform, check it out. They have something called PMOpedia.

I think you have to set an strategy and work in consequence. "our users have no idea what a PMO is or how project management can help them." is the key in your statement. Start with an analysis about their "pains" to understand how all related to project/program/portfolio management will solve "the pain" and work with that as the driver.

You can find tons of material here on the website and on the internet. I think you should think of your target audience and ultimate goal and plan based on that.
