As has been already discussed the reality out there in ‘PMO land’ is that there is not a plethora of wise and experienced PMO managers, directors, leaders, heads, etc., and so it is sensible for anyone who is engaged to help an organisation set up a new PMO or advise on improvements to an existing PMO to reach out for some help.

As a program manager, PMO or project team leader, you probably think about how to plan upcoming work. The objective of this capability assessment is, after all, to make sure that the two map closely.

That’s the last step of the ‘traditional’ predictive (waterfall) project lifecycle, but even agile projects close. The PMO will want a copy and you should also send one to the project sponsor and any other senior stakeholders.

If the project can no longer meet its goals, the function could even recommend that the project is closed. In my experience, assurance is carried out by the PMO or another project manager whom I have invited to do a peer review. Basically, project assurance is an advisory role that provides independent support and scrutiny.

Not you as an individual, not you as a PMO, not you as a group of dedicated project managers. Your PMO should come up with (if they haven’t got it already) a list of the project prioritization categories.
