PMO Reflection

After examining the presentation from the consultants a move to start with PMO light and transition to PMO heavy would be the most effective for our company. Currently in our organization, processes are a bit more relaxed, but in order to move forward we need to focus on having more structure. Having this structure will help us find an identity, be consistent, know responsibilities and limitations, and also have a sense of authority. Implementing such structure will require a large amount of training. A lot of staff in our office have become attracted to our business because of our laid back approach. This will be a culture shock for most, but it will be necessary in order to move forward. The big shock will be the increased amount of administrative overhead, but with expressing it's importance will help in the training of our staff. If we decided to not use PMO we will see problems with project execution and management, which will result for future problems in our business. By switching to PMO as the consultants presented, we will be able to see more consistency in our projects and have a more uniform and structured approach. In the future we can increase the amount of PMO, but it necessary to start light and then transition to a heavy load of PMO.
