Training Needs Analysis for PMOs

PMO:TNA

PMO | TNA is a development service designed specifically for PMO teams. Built around a 5-stage Training Needs Analysis (TNA) model and aligned to the House of PMO Competency Framework, this guided programme enables PMOs to assess current capabilities, identify skill gaps, plan development pathways, and evaluate impact.

What Is the TNA Service?

The Training Needs Analysis (TNA) Service is a structured development programme designed specifically for PMO teams. Built around a five-stage model, it combines team-wide capability planning with individual growth – enabling PMOs to build the right skills to support strategic delivery and business value. We can support you at any or all of these steps.

Who its for

This service is ideal for:

Internal PMO teams.
PMO Managers and Leads responsible for developing their teams.
HR and L&D professionals supporting PMO functions.
Individuals in PMO roles who want to assess and grow their skills.

Why Choose This Service?

PMOs often lack a consistent process for identifying skills gaps and aligning training to business outcomes. This service provides a guided, facilitated approach to:

Assess current competences.
Set clear development goals.
Select the right mix of interventions (training, coaching, mentoring, self-directed learning).
Evaluate the impact of learning across the team.

It brings structure, consistency, and strategic alignment to PMO development efforts.
