The idea of a project focused central services style PMO (people, process, tools, training) is rapidly losing favour because it is not delivering business results. Some have embraced this opportunity, some have not. In the last few years PMOs have been asked to take on much more ‘business critical’ functions. Andy’s response aligned very closely with our view, and so we thought we’d let Andy share directly! You can reach Andy at and we thank him in advance for the guest post! – Paul Just What is a Strategic PMO? Andy Jordan is the president at Roffensian Consulting, and has over 20 years within the portfolio, program, project and PMO space. We reached out to some industry folks to get their views, and one response stood out in particular. In fact, we’ve seen so much interest in the Strategic PMO idea that we’ve created a local breakfast series, starting initially in Chicago and Houston.īut we also thought it would be good to step back and define just what makes up a strategic PMO.
