A New Year’s resolution is a tradition in which a person makes a promise to do an act of self-improvement, such as losing weight, doing exercise, giving up smoking etc. Peter Taylor is a PMO expert currently leading a Global PMO, with 200 project managers acting as custodians for nearly 5,000 projects around the world, for Kronos Inc.

Well it starts with strategy formulation which is no longer the annual exercise it used to be – nowadays it is an ongoing iterative activity. Leads, and is aided by, the PMO. Sadly, I have yet to see a future ‘C’ work their way through the project arena, the PMO, the project management practise. Reports to the executive team.

A couple years ago, back when we could have in-person events, I attended a local PMI presentation on process and experience mapping. It was informative with engaging exercises and great conversations. After the presentation was over, I overheard two people having a disagreement about the PMO’s they worked for.

Project (or Program) Management Office (PMO) activities and focus (supportive, directive, controlling).

I take them through that exercise and show them how you’ve got to select things based upon some criteria. It’s a fun exercise to go through. There are a lot of good universities that have curriculum as well as the PMI Institute that offers certification in Portfolio Management as well as Project Management.

Fear is one way, so why not try this simple exercise when you get the opportunity. So how can you get across the message that executives need to stop failing their projects without looking like a project manager with a chip on their shoulder? Putting a price on something works well, I find.

An ‘open door’ policy can easily transform a project manager’s role from that of an authority, and managing, figure to that of a subservient accommodator with little chance for exercising control on those that demand access to them. Be a good manager. Henry Ward Beecher.

The rules and guidelines are set by an external authority such as PMI or GPM (for PRiSM). This is neither a quick nor a one-time exercise. This exercise will help you figure out how your internal and external projects are distinct, and how to evaluate them. In contrast, a project management framework gives you more freedom.

How can Scrum or Kanban (agile methodologies in general) methods fit the existing PMI ® framework (i.e. This is optimization exercise and companies struggle. What if your PMO refuses to adjust its methodology for business needs and only looks at itself first? PMBOK ® Guide )? Great question. Have a question for Dr. Kerzner?
