Hello Everyone,
I am not sure if this situation is typical but I want to share anyway. I have been tasked with creating a PMO and project governance in an organization whose project management maturity is well almost nonexistent. There is so much to do I didn't know where to start, so I began with the deveopment of a decision brief for the Dirctor to determine which type of PMO the organization needed. The Director really didn't know what he wanted so we discussed what outcomes he would like to see with the project portfolio. I am drafting the various charters for the PMO, the Project change board and IV&V or the governance procedures. I am have trouble getting buy-in from staff and leadership is not as engaged as I would like. The team I am working with is of varying skills and I am the only PMP. Does anyone have any ideas on how to jumpstart this effort?
