Formateurs très sympathiques et compétents. Cependant, la formation n’était pas totalement en adéquation avec mes attentes, notamment au regard du programme et du public cible. La première journée était un peu trop basique pour des experts. 2eme jour plus intéressant pour mes besoins.Cela reste néanmoins une formation très intéressante, mais davantage adaptée à des participants non experts en gestion de projet, programme, portefeuille

Jour 1: des discussions intéressantes mais pas de support théorique pour les cadrer. Jour 2: beaucoup de théorie, mais pas vraiment adaptée à mes besoins qui étaient d’avoir des tips & tricks plus concrets sur "comment être un bon PMO" et comment mettre des activités PMO en place selon les besoins de ma société.Formation en teams complexe, mais animateur du 2ème jour peu dynamique (ex: pas de caméra, ton monotone, lecture des slides)

Classe à distance certes mais la 2nde journée était avec peu d’animations et d’entrain (ex : la caméra de l’animateur n’a jamais été allumée). Cas pratiques peu challengés. J’ai trouvé que les supports utilisés étaient peu clairs : de longs paragraphes, mise en page à revoir et couleurs non adaptées.Beaucoup de trop théorie le 2nd jour
