Seasoned PMO directors who need to perform a PMO health check and improve existing tools and processes. New PMO directors who need to tools and advice to establish an effective action plan for job success. Matt Burton Senior Manager, Project Portfolio Management Info-Tech Research Group Use this window to define a PMO strategy that is sensitive to organizational culture and strategy and that comes with an appropriate level of buy-in and support baked in. This is a time when people are most open to sharing insights and advice.
My advice for new PMO leaders is make the most of the window of influence that is open to you in your first 100 days. Too often, new PMO leaders squander their first months getting up to speed on the status quo around project management, rather than using this time to demonstrate a strategic vision for the PMO and define a sustainable, long-term mandate amongst stakeholders.
In my experience, I’ve found that the root cause of most PMO failures can be traced back to missteps made during the first days of the PMO. According to the numbers, if it’s not you looking for another job within three years’ time, it will be one of your peers in the next PMO. Use your first 100 days as PMO leader to define a mandate for long-term success.Ģ ANALYST PERSPECTIVE Capitalize on your window of influenceĥ0% of new PMOs fail within the first three years – a sobering statistic that should cause any new PMO leader to sit up and take notice.
