An agile project management office might sound to some like an oxymoron, right?

This is one of the reasons why I endorse the Disciplined Agile guideline to “ Create semi-autonomous self-organizing teams ” as it acknowledges that the degree of autonomy is rarely absolute and will vary widely between contexts even within the same organization. Self-organization is an admirable goal for teams to aspire to.
