It’s a member’s question that has led to creating this session – ‘how can you track the PMO’s performance?’
We explore the fundamental metrics that define a PMO's success and understand how these metrics align with PPM and organisational goals.
The monthly #PMOwfh covers lots of different aspects of PMO within the hour.
We talk about the month we've had, Poll of the Month, 10 in 10, Over to You and feature special guests and get you talking with others on the session. Oh yes and there are jingles!
In this session we covered:
The latest report from PMI on PMO Maturity; the definition of projects and are they really unique; work breakdown structures and getting started with toast.
In last week's #PMOwfh the 10-in-10 (10 slides in 10 minutes) was all about maturity.
Organisational maturity; PMO maturity and your own maturity too.
It's a subject that often comes up when talking about challenges in delivery organisations - and of course in our own PMOs. In the session, we shared a number of detailed slides to cover the three different aspects.
Let's start by taking a look at the 10 minute recorded session and a closer look at those slides
The maturity of the PMO has been a theme area that lots of PMO practitioners have been interested in for a while now. It's certainly something that is talked about at PMO Flashmob events and at last year's PMO Conference this theme was explored by Guy Jelley at PPO and it went down a storm. Delegates loved it, so we thought the rest of the PMO Flashmobbers would love it too.
Here's what it is about:
The common misconception for PMOs is that by focusing inward on increasing project management maturity, its portfolios, programmes and projects will be delivered more effectively. The reality is that it’s the people, process, governance, technology and ORGANISATION that play a crucial role in improving the organisation’s project delivery capability.
Typically, PMO leaders have an arsenal of tools to overcome PMO challenges like portfolio visibility and reporting, project prioritisation or resource capacity planning. Irrespective of what’s in your toolkit, the reality is that only with the effective usage of these tools will PMOs be able to maximise their maturity.
You’ll learn:
How to map your toolkit’s capabilities to your current maturity level
How to optimise your toolkit to your current and then targeted project management maturity level
Lessons learnt and proven approach to the effective usage of your tools
It doesn't matter what your tools are - how you optimise what you have got is the first step to greater PMO maturity. Interested? Watch the recording now:
