The Agile PMO: Leading the Effective, Value Driven, Project Management Office

Conclusive research findings inform us that many PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet; we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations – wasting money, resources and time. In this practical, interactive discussion the focus will be on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general.

Michael Nill will address the essential model for PMO value enablement:

  1. The two key concept of the Agile PMO – a PMO that is inherently agile, adaptive and value driven and a PMO that interfaces between Agile product delivery and the traditional Waterfall organization
  2. How to ensure effective streamlined delivery by abolishing waste
  3. How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities
  4. How to manage resource allocation from a top down approach in an effective manner by targeting critical resources
