Program Management Offices (PMOs) have long been the central front in the battle to improve how information technology (IT) programs are managed. But, as IT organizations are charged with delivering more top-line business value, executives say the PMO is showing its limitations. Is the traditional PMO sturdy enough to shoulder the burden of delivering strategic and operational alignment across increasingly complex projects, or do chief information officers need more help? |
|
"Everybody knows that it is not enough to bring a big technology project in on time and on budget these days," said Murray. "If the project does not contribute to the overall business strategy and deliver results, it is considered a failure. Facing the likelihood of a protracted period of uncertainty and change in business conditions, the PMO model that has served so well over the last decade is beginning to show its limits." |
||
Kagan noted that a higher-value approach to PMOs is necessary; one that focuses on delivering strategic outcomes, directly linking IT program investments to broader organizational goals. This simple shift can help remedy problems of strategic alignment in most PMOs -- a Results Management Office (RMO). "This takes discipline above all else with a relentless focus on creating business value through an orderly process," added Kagan. |
