Which of the following are recommended for the implementation of a P3O model?
1. Follow a recognized programme or project methodology
2. Define a budget and associated timescales to deliver
3. Appoint a P3O Sponsor
4. Use a programme approach to implement a single office P3O staffed by one individual
The P3O Foundation (2013) manual recommends following a recognized methodology, defining a budget and timescales, and appointing a P3O Sponsor for implementation. Section 4.2.1 states, 'Implementation should follow a recognized programme or project methodology, include a defined budget and timescales, and involve appointing a P3O Sponsor to provide leadership.' However, using a programme approach for a single-office P3O staffed by one individual (4) is not recommended due to scalability and governance issues. The 2013 edition emphasizes a structured approach to ensure success, with the Sponsor driving strategic alignment and methodology providing a framework. Options B, C, and D include the impractical fourth element, making A the correct choice for a robust implementation process.
