Organizations are recognizing that they need to go beyond the traditional metrics of scope, schedule and budget to determine project success—but those metrics still matter as indicators of how effective and efficient a company’s planning approach is.

PMO Metamorphosis research is specifically focused on the evolution of how a Supportive PMO team can get evolved into a Directive PMO by understanding the Enterprise & investor goals.

The research is focused to give an effective eagle eye governance of PMO & that can best fit startup & mid-sized organizations.
In this presentation, Mark Mullaly dives deep into PMOs and the roles that they can and do play in organizations. He looks at the reasons that many feel, and explores the factors that do, occasionally, lead to success. If you work in a PMO, or for one, or are impacted by one in the projects that you manage, this is a presentation that you won't want to miss.
Are you ready to take action and create the future of your organization, leveraging the PMO function to rapidly react to changes in the marketplace, drive digital business transformation efforts, and utilize emerging technology to improve our quality of life? Sara Nunez discusses organizational project management, digital transformation, and creating the future of work together.
The first 100 days for any leader entering office marks a major milestone. He/she is judged on the performance during that period and the opinion set during that time persists throughout his/her tenure. As a PMO leader, you should take this standard upon yourself. This will most likely not be set as an expectation by your stakeholders, but this plan of action will be largely appreciated by them.
Recently Gartner claimed that 80% of today’s Project Management tasks will be eliminated by 2030 as Artificial Intelligence takes over. Will 80% of today’s PMO tasks will most likely also disappear too? On the other hand, the Project Economy claims that the future of work is about projects. How will this impact the future of PMOs? Will there be a need for PMO's? And in which form? This session, founded upon some of the latest research and practical examples, will explore how PMOs can adapt to the new reality and move towards a more strategic role to survive.

Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s leading authority on project management, and professional services firm PwC have teamed up to address how success being measured by project-based organizations impacts PMOs
If PMOs continue to focus on drawing attention to themselves to demonstrate value by collecting, consolidating and regurgitating various project metrics, they will never make a difference. PMO leaders are too focused on what they are and what they need, not what they do for others—and certainly not what they enable to happen.
How can you get more (and better) project manager candidates? Beef up your recruiting promotions. If your organization wants to generate more high-quality hires, then follow these tactics to identify and build on your company's strengths—and promote these in your recruitment communications.
What constitutes a mature PMO in your organization? What should they deliver? And what should PMO leadership focus on when meeting with the C suite? Here we learn important PMO maturity lessons through the CEO lens.
For every shining exemplar of a PMO, there are dozens—if not hundreds—of failed examples fallen by the wayside. This is not a good look. PMOs often start in crisis as a desperate response to a situation gone sideways, and sincere questions about their value emerge once the crisis resolves (or endures).
Question: With all of the recent changes in project management, our PMO (Project Management Office) needs to update itself. I think those ideas for new ways of working must come from the project managers, but I can’t seem to get the PMO to listen to me. Is there a clever way to present my ideas, based on my experience delivering products and services for this company, so that the PMO might actually update its practices?
If leadership isn’t asking PMOs to concentrate on enabling value, then there will be less understanding of how—or if—value is being achieved because no one is looking for it. To make a difference to their organization, PMOs need to focus on things that matter.
When spreadsheets are used in your PMO, they are dangerous in the extreme because they give stakeholders a false sense of security. They result in a lack of questioning information until it’s too late—and ultimately, they contribute to the failure of projects, programs and potentially entire portfolios.
Most PMOs are not yet performing at an elite level of performance. As an individual PM, you have a few choices to make at this stage. The option you choose depends on your seniority, risk appetite and ambition. Explore these three options to see which one best suits your situation.
The problem that many PMOs face is that their organizations don’t know what PMO excellence looks like, so they aren’t quite sure what the PMO’s mandate and objectives should be. But a new report shows just what PMOs can achieve—in dramatic fashion.
Why don’t we talk more about the commitment PMO leaders make to excellence, or celebrate the remarkable achievements of a particular PMO? What does it take to create world-class PMOs, and why do so few try to get there?
If we could time travel 10 years into the future, what would we find in the world of PMOs? Today’s PMO models aren't sustainable in a project-delivery environment that is evolving as fast as it is. That’s why we’re already seeing the evolution of PMOs into more strategic, value-focused functions.
Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s leading authority on project management, and global professional services firm, PwC, have teamed up to address the current state of project management office (PMO) maturity through the creation of a bespoke PMO maturity index. While the global maturity index score shows there is still a long way to go for PMOs on their maturity journey, it has identified a cohort of 230 PMOs—called the “Top 10 Percent” in this report—which are leaders across all dimensions of the index.
As projects become ever more important elements in how an organization succeeds, so the ability to integrate every element of project delivery becomes more critical. To enable the biggest improvement, PMOs need to focus on some of the weaker links in that chain.
Providing broader organizational insight to an employer can bring satisfaction to the project manager, increased management exposure and perhaps enhanced career opportunities. But does it come at the price of doing less of what we love the most?
There is no “silver bullet” solution to disaster recovery data management. However, an experienced, knowledgeable PMO team equipped with a low-code PMIS solution can turn this unpredictability into an advantage for owners.
