These roles spell opportunity and career growth for traditional project management roles, who can harness their experience&#x2014;their strong business relationships, their knowledge of vendor management, risk management, and revenue management &#x2014;to reinvent themselves. They can be instrumental in helping the product create value for customers.&#xA0;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The PMO can become the VMO &#x2013; the Value Management Office. To transition from scope based outcomes to value-based outcomes, it makes sense that the PMO transition to effectively help optimize business outcomes at a program level.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Value_Stream_Architect\"><\/span><b>Value Stream Architect<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Value Stream Architect focuses on architecting the software delivery value stream for flow.

Architecting not just for speed, but for visibility too, helping business owners see exactly where their requests are and when they are likely to be delivered &#x2013; a dream for any PMO. Value Stream architects also ensure built-in feedback occurs across the value stream to catch problems earlier and identify data-driven continuous improvements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Product_Journey_Champion\"><\/span><b>Product Journey Champion&#xA0;<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes c-level executives are completely bought into the need for change.
