How many times have you cringed when you heard a colleague mention Program Management or refer to the PMO requirements/checklists? How many times when you are working on a contract do you have to take an inordinate amount of time away from providing your clients with value to satisfy a laborious PMO constraint?
Often Program Management is viewed as a layer of bureaucracy and overhead that weighs down projects and portfolios, with limited business value.
4R Solutions has worked with a myriad of organizations and consulted with industry leaders. The prevailing consensus from those engagements is that the PMO is a hindrance to projects success and that it directly stifles innovation. Most leaders describe their PMO as too burdensome with heavy governance structures, morass management, assurance excess, and planning paralysis, with little attention given to process improvement and knowledge dissemination from lessons learned. Inside most of the organizations 4R works with, the practices, techniques, and processes used to build products and/or execute services have evolved; however, the PMO is still lagging far behind when it comes to adding value to the groups producing the work.
