Getting Project Managers to Share and Executives to Prioritize

Implementing Enterprise Project Management (epm), carries a range of pre-requisites and implications. Over the next few minutes, we'll look at how to deal with the most challenging aspects of an epm implementation: changing user behaviour! First, we need to look at what epm really is. When we talk about epm, we usually think of a small number of very distinctive goals:

First of all, most people believe that epm includes the ability to report and/or analyze all of the organization's projects simultaneously. There are some implications to this, of course. The first is that all data are being maintained in a single system and within a single centralized repository. When we talk about epm, we are almost always referring to an integrated environment where people expect to be able to get their project management questions answered regardless of which project or projects we are referring to.

PMOs Don't Work!

Posted by Adam Kahn in Untagged

I've got to say I've spoken with hundreds of PMO directors and managers and my view is that they just don't work. They don't truly accomplish the theoretical goals of why PMOs were created in the first place. Would love to hear what others are doing regarding their PMOs and how they are taking their project portfolios to the next level of true strategic alignment with the enterprise.
