So Why Are PMOs Not Successful?
Source: Gartner, November 2014
50% of PMOs are Considered “Failures”
Average Tenure for Those PMOs is ~18 Months
Large Gap Between What is Being Done and What is Expected
Focus on Critical Factors to Bridge the Gap

Factor #1: Demonstrate Value
Value Should Be Measured By the Output of the Project – Not Just the Management of the Project.
o Focus on the desired outcome or goal of your stakeholders
Ensure You Have a Business Case – Have a Dialogue and Get Agreement
Understand the Business Impact – Have Value-based Metrics
o Revenue, cost reduction, entering new markets
o Score, net present value (NPV), low / medium / high
Speak up!
o Inadequate resources
o Balance of competing demands
o Duplicate work

Factor #2: Ensure Alignment
Learn to Speak the Business Language
o Ensure proposed work is consistent with the organizational strategy
It’s All About Resources!
o Most valuable asset in any organization
o Understand what people are working on and when
According to PMI, “Nearly Half of Strategic Initiatives are Unsuccessful”
o Lack of alignment of projects to organizational strategy most likely contributor
“The willingness (or unwillingness) of the PMO to provide the right
service at the right time is the single reason behind the chronic
problem of PMO failure.” - Gartner

Factor #3: Clear Communication
Should Not Only Focus on How Well You Are Doing
o Support management with analysis and recommendations
o Push up the data to enable better decision making
Push-Up Relevant Dashboards & Reports
o Simplify and summarize
o Do not introduce more questions but focus on guidance and insight
Top-Down and Bottom-Up Communication
o Listen to what is important
o Engage all levels of the organization and all relevant stakeholders
Incorporate Planning & Execution Phases
o Too often, just focus on tactical execution
o Forward-looking communication enables better efficiency and planning

Factor #4: Organizational Agility
Quicker Response to Demands & Expectations
o Market conditions
o Customer needs & requirements
o Stakeholders
Different Levels of Agility – Determine What is Right for Your Organization
Integrate “Value” into Your Agility Process
o Helps determine what justifies a “shift” or “change”
Continuous Prioritization and Planning
o Always aligned with the latest organizational goals

Factor #5: Continuous Measurement
Get Agreement on What is Important
o Understand stakeholder needs and expectations
Take Responsibility & Initiative
o Provide recommendations for actions that should be taken – using the agreed upon metrics
Bridge The Gap Between Planning and Execution
o Metrics on both sides of PMO activities
o Draw the lines and analysis between the two
Timing of Data and Communication is Important
o Find the right interval or milestones to measure
