Episode 134: How to Develop a Strategic Plan for the PMO

This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story presents, “How to Develop a Strategic Plan for the PMO”, presented by Mark Perry (about Mark), host of The PMO Podcast™. The benefits of a Strategic Plan are many fold. First, you answer some very straight forward questions that any business unit needs to be able to answer. Second, you speak a common strategic language that will be understood from the members of the business unit to those the business unit supports and on up to executive management, especially the CFO. And third, you place in the proper context of the strategic plan those things that make up the strategic plan. But far too often, PMOs do not have strategic plans and the resulting PMO Charter may, or may not, find support and funding in the executive office. The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo presents, “Five Tips for Better Decision Making." If you're a PMO manager or project manager, you're a decision-maker and you have to make decisions, big and small, just about every day. When it comes to decision-making, common sense, experience, and intuition are helpful to have. And in addition to that, it is helpful to have a decision making process to ensure that decisions are made with the right amount of thinking and with the right amount of speed. Decisions made too quickly can be costly as can be decisions that are made too slowly. The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag answers a listener question about whether or not the PMO Manager should be a certifed PMP.
