In this session, led by lodgers Matthew Milsom and Holger Heuss – we learnt about Minimum Viable Governance - lean, streamlined and efficient governance frameworks and highlighted tips and advice for PMOs to drive more thinking and adoption.
Is the Project, Programme and Portfolio Governance book worth buying? Find out what the community thinks as we feature the text in this Book Club session.
The traditional PMO is often too passive, providing governance, reporting and process that can actually slow the organisation down, and then simply monitor the chaos, rather than enabling solutions.
Is it time for the PMO to be repurposed?

The session will include an introduction to Lean Portfolio Management theory illustrated with practical examples from implementing Lean Portfolio Management across a 6000 person technology team in a global financial institution with a budget in excess of £1 billion.
In this session we hear from the co-author of the new book Project, Programme and Portfolio Governance - Ross Garland.
P3G is the framework an organisation establishes to enable effective investment decision making.
In this session we look at how to establish an effective governance framework for a project, programme or entire portfolio. A perfect text for anyone currently working in or managing a PMO.
P3G is the framework an organisation establishes to enable effective investment decision making and the PMO has a great role to play in that.
The book itself has been written for practitioners so we can expect lots of practical take aways from this pragmatic and scalable approach to governance in change delivery organisations.
Week 16 of #PMOwfh - four months of PMO chat, debate, a few laughs and lots of sharing during four months of the pandemic.
There's one thing we've definitely learnt during this time - there's no limit to the subjects and themes we can choose to get into, the life of a PMO is such a varied and interesting one!
This week we're looking at the theme of "talking to senior executives". It was one suggested by one of the crew so here we are.
We were delighted to have Terry Doerscher join us from good ole Texas. Terry has loads of relatable experiences and knowledge, plus he's a really nice bloke.
He's the author of a great book - Taming Change with Portfolio Management - an excellent choice if you're working at the senior level in portfolio PMO.
The 10-in-10 session from Terry covered:
Role of the PMO from an executive perspective
Communicating project and portfolio performance
Effective portfolio governance and project sponsorship
We headed over to Bristol last month, lovely weather to be tucked up inside learning about Agile Project Governance but definitely worth it.
There were so many little gems I took away and I know that other PMO Flashmobbers there on the night had a lot of their questions answered.
Essentially we were all there to find out what exactly changes when projects are being delivered in an Agile way - when compared to traditional projects. And if something changes what does the PMO have to know about - and what do they have to do about it?
