As you develop your PMO, ensure you have reasonable limits for the size of the project relative to the amount of PMO requirements. Example, 1 person project for 8 weeks, only internal labor certainly doesn't require the level of Project Management that an SAP deployment to 20,000 USERS over 8 countries, with hundreds of various project participants. In my experience, those working on projects vs. those in the PMO have vastly different opinions on the level of project management tools required per the size of the actual project. Every company will be different on what is appropriate, but I would recommend you start off with "light" PMO touch where you can or you will lose a lot of enthusiasm from non-PMO participants. It's a delicate balance of the right amount of tracking, and still getting the work done. If the labor hours for completing PMO paperwork exceed the hours working on the project something has gone horribly wrong.

I have just been asked by an exec from another function to audit a critical project in their portfolio which does not appear to be going well. I have some ideas based on my own PMO experience, but wanted to explore how peers might think about approaching such an exercise. Considerations: - outside my main role - risk of conflict with the leader providing project management services to this exec - sensitivity within the other function to potential criticism of their governance - readiness of the project team to provide relevant information

I recommend that you consider finding an outside third party to perform the audit. I have had to do something similar with an unprofitable division/product line that reports directly to our CEO. We outsourced with Alvarez ...read more

Looking for others insight into how they are measuring capacity for their Robotics Process Automation Programs. We have almost 100 bots in production and a defined amount of developers. We are continuing to deploy new bots/new use cases as well as sustaining all existing bots in production. What have others done to define a "trip wire" for identifying when you hit max capacity?
