Download the white paper
Your central Program Management Office is doing its job. Yet, with more companies questioning the value of the PMO, the budget ax still swinging. Can you save yours?
This white paper by Steven W Smith Group explores the apparent decline in the value-proposition of the traditional PMO and its jeopardy in today's cost-cutting world. It then provides the CIO guidelines on how to rescue the PMO by refocusing its role to align IT with the priorities of the business.
Can the PMO justify its existence in 2014 and beyond?
With more companies questioning the value of their central Program Office, can you save yours?
Overview
As an IT leader in 2014, are you in a squeeze between rising vendor prices and the cost-cuts your CFO is demanding? Between the constant barrage of new project requests and the groaning of an over-extended staff? And between mounting pressure to “cut the fat” and just keeping the systems up and running?
You’re in a dilemma. Every team is under scrutiny – and in danger of being cut if you can’t prove its value. That includes your Program Management Office – the PMO.
An annual study of corporate PMOs by ESI International showed that in 2011, nearly 58% of respondents questioned the value of their central program office. With numbers like that, it’s clear the value-proposition of the PMO is eroding.
This paper discusses why the real power these days – the CFO – has the traditional PMO in his sites. And it describes what you can do to keep your PMO relevant, to increase business satisfaction, and to retain your control over IT in “the new normal.”
