State of Oregon: Project Management Office
The Office of Information Services (OIS) for the state of Oregon has presented a simple, but expansive, portal that displays all of the usual pieces and parts you would expect, but also provides a PM process guide and PM blog. The training sections provides a brief window into the classroom offerings. The latest newsletter (Jan 2008) mentions that a "complete overhaul" is in the works. the cynic in me wants to point out to them that with such a great library of online information and a link to the state mental health services department, there isn't much that they are missing
already!
