There is a lot of talk about becoming Agile, at different organisational levels.
Many organisations start with adding the prefix Agile to existing roles and teams: Agile PM, Agile BA, Agile Tester, Agile QA etc.
One of the re-branded teams/units is the PMO with more and more organisations having an Agile PMO. There are guidelines in the latest PMBoK/Agile Guide.

How is an Agile PMO different than a PMO in real life?
Does the Agile PMO provide governance for Scrum Masters and/or Agile Coaches?

Under Agile, you measure progress much differently than under typical project management approaches. Rather than focusing on milestones or deliverables, you focus on what velocity and the amount of features or epics in progress. This is difficult enough for one project. It can be daunting trying to implement such approaches at a PMO who has to report to senior management.
