Episode 202: How does the PMO mix with PPM, Governance, Lessons Learned and Business Driven Setup? (Free)
This episode is sponsored by The PDU Podcast:
This is the 2nd episode with interviews that I recorded on the road in recent weeks. As a special treat you are going to hear not just one, but four interviews today that were recorded at the PMO Syposium in Dallas, TX. Each interview is obviously going to be about PMOs, but with a twist...
I attended the PMO Symposium to help out Mark Perry. Mark is a good friend of mine, the host of The PMO Podcast and his company BOT International was an exhibitor at the PMO Symposium. He asked me to fly in and help at the BOT booth. There I quickly realized that the other consultants from BOT International who were working at the booth were all exceptional experts in their fields. So I decided to ask each of them 3 questions that connect their field of experience with the topic of PMO.
In this episode you will hear:
- Terry Doerscher with whom we focus on Project Portfolio Management
- Steve Romero whose expertise is IT Governance and how it relates to PMO
- Mel Bost who will tell you what a PMO needs to do in order to improve lessons learned in your organization
- And last but not least Mark Perry with whom I discuss what business driven PMO setup and strategy means.
- Last updated on .
