A PMO is evaluating its stakeholder base to better align its functions. While some argue that everyone impacted by the PMO qualifies as a stakeholder, others believe stakeholders should be defined more narrowly. Who qualifies as a PMO stakeholder?
A.
Anyone who is directly or indirectly affected by PMO activities
B.
All employees working within the organization’s departments
C.
Stakeholders who directly use and benefit from PMO functions
D.
Only senior executives who oversee project and portfolio decisions
PMO stakeholders include all individuals or groups affected by its activities, directly or indirectly. This broad view ensures that the PMO considers the needs of executives, project teams, and departments impacted by its decisions and services. Narrow definitions risk neglecting critical stakeholders.
