3 Starting with the end in mind It is all about value and no, documents don t provide it; A Lean method for selection and prioritization; PMO focus on strategic resources, Agile provides the local empirical leadership; PMO perception leading the change;

4 It just doesn t Work

5 Do you Realize Value from your PMO? TRICKY QUESTIONS How many of you manage a PMO or have a PMO in the organization Have you seen failures? What are the challenges? Yes we have a PMO in the organization and

6 Truly PMOs don t Deliver RESEARCH Gartner 2012 ESI 2013

7 Truly PMOs don t Deliver -2 STATE OF PMOs 2015 >> The PMO Challenge: 72 percent of respondents claimed the PMO had been challenged by senior management. The top two were lack of perceived value (44%); lack of project/program maturity in the organization (41%)

8 50% Failures

9 How did we get here? THE STORY OF PETE
