“Agile projects need to report to the PMO”
How does this statement make you feel? 

Anxious? Frustrated?  Anticipating a fight? There’s likely to be resistance. 

The reality is, all projects, even Agile ones, should have supports to be successful.  But at the same time, PMOs can’t remain the same and expect Agilists to just comply; PMOs also need to change and adapt. 

Rubin Jen will review the types of PMOs and what benefit they bring to an organization, but then also their place in an Agile environment.  He will investigate the value they need to have for Agile projects.  And finally, he’ll provide a few examples of value-added services that can assist.

As organizations change, tackling greater numbers of projects, while investing organizational resources, the pressure to become more efficient and effective increases.

Project Management Office or PMO is becoming a popular choice to address this question of project intensity and the need for sustainable project execution. PMOs are rarely the same across different organizations, even though many of them share common capabilities and features.

This is partly reflected in the uniqueness of each organization’s situation and partly because the challenges and opportunities are different.

Hence, while most of the project professionals are familiar with the “PMO”, chances are, no two experiences are exactly alike.

1. These concerns raise a serious question on how to best develop and nurture an effective PMO like what capabilities should the PMO have?
2. What are the benefits?
3. How would you build and maintain a good PMO?

This webinar attempts to address these and other questions.

Why Attend?

• Strengthen your understanding on both the value and challenges of PMOs
• Be a more knowledgeable project professional, especially for those who work with or within a PMO
• Conceptualize a model of PMO that is suitable for your organization
• Participants also earn 1 PDU

Who Will Benefit? 

• Project professionals who are working in organizations with an intense project environment
• Business and functional professionals who are stakeholders on projects working in a PMO environment
• Busy PMO administrators who are coordinating large numbers of projects
• Up and coming project professionals who want to sharpen their skills and knowledge of PMOs

Provision of good assurance within and around projects is a complex business. In anything other than a small organisation, one that does projects is likely to have at least a few assurance providers and people who want assurance.

What’s more, the landscape is complicated by other factors, like: types of assurance, governance arrangements, complexity of supply chains, timing demands for assurance, duplications and possibly conflicts, etc. This landscape needs clarity and organising.

Making Integrated Assurance work in practice is really difficult.

Organisations rarely (if ever) have a single ownership of project assurance. This is where I believe PMOs can have a larger role than they have traditionally had.

An obvious role that PMOs already often have is in carrying out reviews of projects, typically in support of project decision gates.

A less obvious existing role of PMOs is the provision, operation and monitoring of systems and processes used for project delivery.

Procedures and standards; planning tools; reporting systems; they all not only support project delivery they also tend to make project delivery be done in a predictable tried-and-tested way, thereby increasing the likelihood of project success.

The new role I propose is that of being a ‘home’ for project assurance.

Roy Millard (LinkedIn profile) suggests that PMOs need to be ready to advise organisations on their project assurance arrangements. They can be the driver behind making Integrated Assurance work.

Roy believes most PMOs are probably a long way from having enough knowledge about assurance generally, and project assurance specifically, to fulfil this new role.
