Episode 079: The PMO Project Advocate, the Sixth Man on the Project Team

This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story presents, "How to Avoid Pouring Good Money into a Bad Project", presented by Mark Perry (about Mark), host of The PMO Podcast™. Just like a NBA team needs its sixth man, today’s IT departments and PMOs need a Project Advocate, a person to work with the project team and help them navigate through the PMO processes and policies. A Project Advocate is an expert in the particular way in which the PMO undertakes projects and enables project managers and all those involved to draw upon and take full advantage of that expertise. The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo presents, “How to Talk About Bad News." It is always easier to talk about good news than it is to talk about bad news. What is the best way to give or talk about bad news? The question is so simple, as is the answer. Yet, at times, it can be hard to do. Here are a few tips that make talking about bad news easier or more productive. The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag answers a listener question about guidance on what the size of IT PMO teams should be.
