Stakeholders grew impatient. Now, the project is teetering on the edge, and all eyes are on you.

I love this topic because, like many of you; I was brand new to PMO Management when I was first offered a PMO. It was scary and you might not understand where to start. Yes, you can search up and down LinkedIn, and I can tell you that there is advice there for sure, but it is often not expert advice. I read it all the time, people telling you how to run a PMO and have zero or very limited experience doing it themselves.

A delayed project doesn’t just affect your calendar. It affects your bottom line. Time lost in back-and-forth, unclear next steps, or misaligned expectations can quickly turn into lost revenue, and the longer it goes, the harder it is to recover. Only 35% of organizations say they usually finish projects on time. That means most teams spend extra time, money, and energy fixing problems that could have been avoided.

A project kicks off, the team gets moving, and then something small throws it off—one step out of order, a deadline not flagged, or a dependency buried too far down the line. Suddenly, the schedule shifts, and no one’s quite sure where things stand. That’s when delays start to pile up and small missteps turn into bigger setbacks. It’s not always a people problem.

We didn’t really set out to do a portfolio management “week”. It just… happened. But looking back, the pieces came together, almost like a portfolio themselves, loosely connected, each adding something the others didn’t. Three different sessions. Three perspectives.

As a social technology, Scrum has remained steadfast in its ethos for over 32 years, enabling teams to generate value through adaptive solutions to complex problems. Yet, a subtle distinction in its guidance often trips up practitioners - Scrum explicitly mandates a Done Increment but implicitly mandates Delivery. This distinction, though subtle, holds profound implications in a modern context where DevOps has reshaped the landscape of software delivery.

Every time a project stalls because someone isn’t sure what to do next, it costs more than time. It breaks focus, causes rework, and slows momentum.
