Is Your PMO Cursed to Fail?

Have you ever stopped and considered how deep the PMO graveyard in your organisation is?

3 deep?

...5?

More?

The multi-million dollar question is: Are you doing anything different?

Or is your PMO cursed to fail too?

Almost every organisation has tried at least once to build a functioning and sustainable Project, Program or Portfolio Management Office ...And almost every organisation has failed.

Well, I have dug up the skeletons, avoided the zombies, aired out the tombs, outrun the boulders and uncovered the common cause of PMO death. Want to know what I found?

The PMOs Were Worthless!

But all isn't lost. What if I said that you could reverse the trend?

Could you be the hero who pulls the sword from the stone and stops the curse?
