Is lack of sponsorship a key issue to PMOs? No doubt!
Is this the reason why PMOs fail? Not exactly!
The upper management’s lack of support is more of a consequence rather than a cause – a major symptom of the PMO’s inability to meet its stakeholders’ expectations, especially the upper management.
The first step to overcoming this challenge is to understand that nothing is more important for a PMO than its ability to generate perceived value for its stakeholders. "Being good" is not enough, "looking good" is also necessary.
A PMO that does not have its value perceived and recognized by its stakeholders will, sooner or later, fail. Remember, therefore, that the main focus should always be to meet the needs of those who will “judge” the PMO’s work. This is the best way to secure the support of stakeholders, who may have different levels of relevance in this trial.
What do you think about this point of view?
If you are interested in this topic I would suggest you read more about the PMO VALUE RING, a benchmark-based methodology focused on generating value to the PMO stakeholders. Very interesting approach. Saving Changes...
