We recently got an in-depth look into this new face of the PMO during our webinar \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/info.planview.com\/whats-ahead-for-the-pmo-_webinar_prm_en_watch.html\">\u201cWhat\u2019s Ahead for the PMO?\u201d<\/a> Our featured speaker was Margo Visitacion, Vice President and Principal Analyst for Forrester. She and I discussed the responsibilities, expanding skill sets, and strategic capabilities of the modern PMO \u2013 and how to advance in that direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We invite you to view the webinar for all of our discussion. In this blog we answer a few questions we didn\u2019t have time to address during the live webinar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick recap of key points about the evolving role of the PMO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-savvy-pmo-story_1200x400-1024x341.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-savvy-pmo-story_1200x400-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-savvy-pmo-story_1200x400-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-savvy-pmo-story_1200x400-150x50.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-savvy-pmo-story_1200x400-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-savvy-pmo-story_1200x400.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_Todays_PMOs\"><\/span>Types of Today&#8217;s PMOs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The PMO has been typically chartered as a central place for ensuring effective project delivery via adherence to a set of standards, procedures, and practices. As a trend, PMOs are maturing to become more strategic, facilitating the organizational agility needed to achieve objectives at speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the webinar, Margo provided three \u201cPMO Archetypes\u201d that more accurately reflect the current state of PMOs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Scorekeeper<\/strong>: This \u201coffice of no\u201d embodies the traditional, administrative role of the PMO. This archetype is more concerned with command and control of governance and methodologies than achieving relevant business outcomes.<\/li><li><strong>Coach<\/strong>: This more mature PMO is still operational but focused on supporting the organization as an enabler, advisor, and mediator. This archetype wants to foster the agility needed to achieve strategic outcomes.<\/li><li><strong>Facilitator\/management advisor<\/strong>: This most advanced PMO archetype focuses on portfolios, not projects. These professionals are value-driven and committed to enterprise-wide Agile. They act as servant leaders, supporting teams, providing executive-level counsel, and removing roadblocks to agility and performance.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"657\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Margo-and-Linda-Image-of-PMO-Archetypes-from-Wedinar-1024x657.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14966\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Margo-and-Linda-Image-of-PMO-Archetypes-from-Wedinar-1024x657.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Margo-and-Linda-Image-of-PMO-Archetypes-from-Wedinar-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Margo-and-Linda-Image-of-PMO-Archetypes-from-Wedinar-150x96.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Margo-and-Linda-Image-of-PMO-Archetypes-from-Wedinar-768x493.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Margo-and-Linda-Image-of-PMO-Archetypes-from-Wedinar.jpg 1052w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Role of the PMO Archetypes from the &#8220;What&#8217;s Ahead for the PMO?&#8221; webinar<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measuring_PMO_Value_and_Benefits_to_the_Organization\"><\/span>Measuring PMO Value and Benefits to the Organization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The conventional role of the PMO is to establish a set of best practices and processes to ensure that projects are executed in a structured, repeatable manner. This focus on improving operational efficiency has traditionally used \u201con time and on budget\u201d as the success metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Modern PMOs go beyond this to help the organization achieve business goals. These professionals advise leaders about which projects to undertake based on strategic objectives, resource capacity, risk, and other factors. They support teams in executing towards those objectives and measure success based on metrics such as growth, profitability, and customer loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Applying_Objectives_and_Key_Results_OKRs\"><\/span>Applying Objectives and Key Results (OKRs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>All types of organizations are using an objectives and key results (OKRs) framework for collaborative goal setting. Two descriptions from John Doerr\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatmatters.com\/resources\/okrs-smart-goals-difference-between\/\" class=\"ek-link\">WhatMatters.com<\/a>\u201d web site show its relevance to the modern role of the PMO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>\u201cOKRs connect key results to objectives for a more strategic appropriation of resources and time with key results at the forefront.\u201d<\/li><li>OKRs are about \u201cfiguring out what really matters and getting that done in a time-bound, efficient manner so that it all improves performance\u201d (in the context of Lean).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These benefits are motivating PMOs to start working with OKRs. The OKR structure creates realistic traceability with its ability to link strategy with outcomes. For more information about OKRs, see Doerr\u2019s book \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whatmatters.com\/the-book\/\" class=\"ek-link\">Measure What Matters<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the answers to several questions attendees asked during the webinar about the role of the PMO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Where should the PMO sit in an organization?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not unusual for modern PMOs \u2013 those focused on strategic outcomes \u2013 to be at the C-level. This could be the strategic planning office or the chief strategy officer. If you have a chief digital officer working collaboratively with a CMO\/CIO, then the PMO tends to be on that level. The important point here is that the PMO must be in a position where it can move the needle and not be siloed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>What does the PMO drive from a business perspective versus IT?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In a perfect world, business and IT strategy are intertwined. In reality, a disconnect exists in many organizations. With digital transformation and technology so core to product development and the customer experience these days, the IT component becomes infused into the business strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A big gap is created when the \u2018business\u2019 decides what they want to do and then throws it over to IT. The role of the PMO can be a facilitator that helps to identify what can be achieved based upon capacity milestone requirements. It becomes a bit of a negotiation: To achieve this \u2018X\u2019 business outcome, this \u2018Y\u2019 IT investment must be in place. This is one reason dependency management is so important. It starts at the investment level. How do you bring these strategies together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-forrester-webinar_1200x400-1024x341.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-forrester-webinar_1200x400-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-forrester-webinar_1200x400-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-forrester-webinar_1200x400-150x50.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-forrester-webinar_1200x400-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/planview-forrester-webinar_1200x400.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>How do we measure value\/benefits across the portfolio, where this is addressing risks in the IT landscape versus those that increase revenue or reduce costs?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Objective and key results (OKRs) can be used to define a set of meaningful metrics that measure value across the portfolio of investments. OKRs help the organization focus on the outcomes, whether from the corporate level or from the team. A corporate objective could be \u201cgrow the business while maintaining profitability,\u201d using revenues as a key result. An aligned development team objective could be \u201cDrive quality of new features,\u201d using reduction of customer support cases as a key result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prioritization and funding decisions can then be based on the estimated impact that projects or programs have to these objectives. Program managers can then establish the process of reviewing the progress of key results. This review includes assessing whether projects or programs are still relevant based on the key metrics being tracked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>How should the PMO align with agile practices?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>February 11<sup>th<\/sup> of this year marked the 20<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scrumalliance.org\/events\/agile-manifesto-20th-anniversary\">Agile Manifesto<\/a>. Success in the early days had Agile teams questioning the relevance of the PMO. But that success often happened with a single product backlog and team. Teams and organizations didn\u2019t think about scale creating complexity: When you get to team of teams, with 50 to 100 teams, it becomes a very complicated landscape very quickly. Flexible structure and portfolio management is still necessary, beneficial, and vital to organizational transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Embracing Agile is vital for PMO evolution and success. The role of the PMO in an Agile organization is to support the autonomy and fail-fast mentality of Agile teams. This means applying just enough governance to ensure that the work aligns with strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In organizations with multiple Agile teams, PMOs also help to mitigate the dependencies between teams. Executives with more widespread Agile and Lean practices in their organizations are more confident in organizational alignment, team focus, and on-time delivery of strategic objectives. This finding is from a recently published Global Benchmark Study &#8211; \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.planview.com\/lp\/strategy-execution-benchmark-prm\/\">The State of Strategy Execution<\/a>\u201d \u2013 commissioned by Planview. PMOs that transform their focus play a pivotal role in scaling Agile enterprise wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, executives are recognizing that current governance and approval processes slow down responsiveness to change. PMOs can lead the way to institute a set of flexible governance practices at the enterprise level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Do you believe the PMI definition of types of PMOs (supportive, controlling, directive) is out of date and irrelevant?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The PMI definition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cio.com\/article\/2441862\/what-is-a-project-management-office-pmo-and-do-you-need-one.html\">three types of PMOs<\/a> does not take the strategic aspects of the PMO into account. PMI\u2019s definition of PMO is evolving to recognize its strategic role: \u201cStrategic PMOs enable strategic change in organizations. PMOs vary widely. Some serve as a means to standardize project-related governance processes and facilitate sharing of resources and tools. Others serve as centers of excellence, and still others align project and program work to corporate strategy across an enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Executives are expecting more strategic counsel and results from their PMOs, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/-\/media\/pmi\/documents\/public\/pdf\/learning\/thought-leadership\/pulse\/pmi-pulse-2020-final.pdf?v=2a5fedd3-671a-44e1-9582-c31001b37b61&amp;sc_lang_temp=en\">PMI&#8217;s Pulse of the Profession 2020<\/a> report.
