What is Episode 116 Premium of The Project Management Podcast about?

PMOs are growing up fast. This discussion tracks their evolution from version 1.0 to 3.0, where governance meets organizational strategy.

Who is the guest featured in Episode 116 Premium of The Project Management Podcast?

Terry Doerscher returns to discuss the PMO’s expanding role, strategic alignment, and the eight key functions that define its value.

What are the eight core functions of a PMO according to Terry Doerscher?

Gathering information, managing demand, performing analysis, coordinating collaboration, identifying issues, managing capacity, providing tools, and offering internal consulting.

Should a PMO be centralized or decentralized?

It depends on organizational size; large enterprises may benefit from an enterprise PMO with several departmental PMOs for local support.

What might PMO 3.0 look like in the future?

PMOs could evolve beyond single enterprises, serving as collaborative management hubs across partner networks and business ecosystems.
