Synopsis: Matching the speed of change in modern business, this book takes readers on a two-year journey in building a project management office (PMO) for today and tomorrow and redefines the PMO as to what it should focus on: Projects, Methods, and Outcomes. Many organisations invest heavily in PMOs, but these are built on an outdated and static model that does not fit a hybrid, agile, AI-empowered, and rapidly changing business environment. Building on his renowned "balanced PMO" model, project management leader Peter Taylor tackles today’s challenges with this diary-style guide to inspire all PMO leaders, project managers, and business leaders, and provide a roadmap to follow to build (or rebuild) their own PMOs. He presents a completely new definition of "PMO", eliminating the traditional back-office concept of a centralised PMO, with his "Projects: Methods: Outcomes" construct that provides a truly business focused team to oversee the delivery of value to their organisation. Enriched with case studies and practical models, this book will benefit all PMO leaders, project management professionals, change and transformation leaders, and anyone interested in how to deliver business value through projects.
