Three Attributes most often Overlooked in PMOs  -- Dr. James Brown

ANNUAL MEETING! IF YOU'RE A MEMBER, WE'LL HAVE CHAPTER BUSINESS AFTER!

Abstract:

To support the successful implementation of project management many organizations have created Project Management Offices… the PMO as the answer to successful project execution. Unfortunately, a number of PMO’s fail to help the organization deliver on successful project execution for a variety of reasons. This has resulted in the elimination of some PMO’s totally or PMO’s that exist in title only (powerless entities).

Description:

Make sure you’re not overlooking the attributes of a successful PMO:

1. A project management methodology that is flexible and uses a Darwinian approach.
2. A tool set philosophy that supports instead of supplanting project managers.
3. The O for Office can be optional.

PMI Maine chapter members, our 2013 Annual Membership Business Meeting will take place on June 20th immediately following the regular monthly program, 7:30-8:00 pm.

The agenda this year includes reports by Officers and Board members, then election of new Board members.

Be sure your PMI Maine Chapter dues are current so you can participate.
