Episode 040: PMO Leadership: Dynamic Scheduling as a Key Business Skill

This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story presents, “PMO Leadership: Dynamic Scheduling as a Key Business Skill", presented by Mark Perry (about Mark), host of The PMO Podcast™. More and more PMOs are expanding their vision and mission beyond the traditional views and approaches of the PMO as a department and stepping up their leadership position and value they deliver to others within the entire company. After all, project management is a skill that all business professionals, not only benefit from but in many cases, require. Hence, forward thinking PMOs are increasingly seeking to introduce and establish project management as an enterprise wide core competence and skillset. Dynamic scheduling is not just a fashionable term, but a key business skill that offers significant and compelling value over rigid and ad hoc scheduling approaches. The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo suggests, “Customer Satisfaction Doesn't Happen By Chance”. Why is it that some PMOs are the darling departments of their companies, achieve high levels of customer satisfaction - internal and/or external, and are viewed as business enablers while other PMOs are held in lesser esteem, achieve lower levels of measured customer satisfaction, and are viewed less as business enablers and more as added bureaucracy? The answer might very well have more to do with stakeholder and customer service skills than project portfolio management expertise. The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag responds to a listener question about whether project managers sometimes be involved in performing some of the project work or should they only manage the project.
