Change is changing & the Project, Programme or Portfolio Management Office (PMO) needs to change as well. Many articles about the future of PMOs stress the impact of AI & automation on the PMO role. That's going to make uniquely human skills for PMOs even more important. In the past, the PMO was often largely focussed on control: timelines, RAG ratings, risks. The PMO of the future:
1) will move beyond delivery reporting - it will reflect on direction
2) wonβt just track outputs - it will amplify outcomes
3) wonβt just ask, βAre you on track?β β it will ask, βWhereβs the energy? What are we learning? And how can we help?β
4) will focus less on delivery hygiene & invest more in human connection, so that the whole system can move forward.
