Delivering Successful PMOs is intended to be the companion book to
Leading Successful PMOs (Peter Taylor) which was a guide to all project
based organisations providing a common language to describe the variety
of possible PMOs, explaining how to do the right things, in the right
way, in the right order, with the right team, and identifying what made
a good PMO leader. Delivering Successful PMOs takes this to the next
level and provides a clear framework to conceive, design, build, prove
and embody an enterprise PMO inside an organisation, dealing with the
strategic intentions, the politics, the people and the projects. The
book draws on the rare experience that Ray Mead, through his
organisation p3m global(www.p3m.global) had in building an enterprise
PMO for a major organisation (based in the Middle East) from the ground
up - a 'greenfield' enterprise PMO. Through this process he and his team
have developed an invaluable methodology that is shared through this
book alongside a real case study - this is not theory, this is not
'perfect' world modelling, this is proven through practice and live
application. Peter and Ray extend the guidelines from the first book and
weave them in to the process of delivering a PMO that works for an
organisation and delivers success - measured by improved project health,
greater returns on investment, a better project management community,
closer connection to business strategy and a more mature project
organisation.
