Adding Value using Project, Programme and Portfolio Management

Evolving Enterprises: Stories of Growth Transformation

Today I am very privileged to be joined by Lindsay Scott and Eileen Roden who are co-founders of the House of PMO, a professional body for PMO professionals working to support Project, Programme and Portfolio Management (P3M). We talk about the need to brigade multiple projects underneath a programme level, the ways that portfolio management can enable change, and the value of PMO. We talk about how traditional and agile projects can fit within a PMO. Usually now PMOs now take a service orientated approach to ensure that the PMO is seen as an enabler to change within an organisation, not as the ‘project police’. We talk about the types of roles in a PMO –data analysis and relationship building. Both skills are essential. We also talk about how can you move towards embedding a PMO into any organisation.
