The New Purpose of the PMO & Why Your Org Still Needs One

The Digital Project Manager

To some folks, a Project Management Office sounds like a stale concept more than a hotbed of innovation. But in a world where non-PM roles are increasingly expected to deliver projects and emerging tech is aggressively forcing us to change the way we work, the PMO may actually be the key to unlocking the future of project management.

Galen Low is joined by Olivia Montgomery (Associate Principal Analyst at Gartner), Bruno Morgante (Board Member at The PMO Leader), and Lauren Selley (Director of Program Management at Code and Theory) to delve into the challenges faced by PMOs, the importance of dynamic leadership, and the integration of innovative strategies like artificial intelligence to enhance project success.
