About the Program:
PMOs unstuck! – Value Added and Business Driven
Project management highways are full of dead PMOs. Why? Quite simply, most PMO managers get stuck on process and forget about value added benefits and business driven people and processes.
This presentation will describe how to build a PMO that will last. It will use key results from organizations such as 7-Eleven that created a PMO in 2004 and has since achieved remarkable success. The PMO was initiated because over 50% of the IT projects were failing to meet the schedule or budget objectives (now near 10%). Using and evangelizing mission statements, PMO goals, a PMO tag line, PMO objectives, best practices, and metrics were integral parts of the success of the PMO.
Discover how to use great PMO tools including RACI charts, process swim lanes, metrics, dashboards, and resource reporting to manage a highly successful PMO. This speech will help you decide what might be an appropriate starting place for improving your PMO.
