A PMO has been thriving within the organization for the past 3 years. A new PMO professional has been appointed to lead the PMO and is expected to sustain its success.
What should the PMO professional do first?
A.
Analyze the performance metrics of current services and the value generated by the PMO.
B.
Collect expectations of PMO customers and make necessary PMO services adjustments.
C.
Keep the current PMO services and improve their maturity when applicable.
D.
Realign the current PMO services to the organizational strategy and goals.
Before making changes or adjustments, the PMO professional should analyze existing performance data and value delivered to understand what is working well and where improvements are needed. This data-driven approach helps sustain success by building on strengths and addressing gaps with evidence.
While collecting expectations (Option B), maturing services (Option C), and realigning strategy (Option D) are important, they come after understanding current performance.
PMI-PMOCP Strategic Alignment underscores baseline analysis as the starting point for sustaining and improving PMO value.
