The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo presents, "Don't be the PMO Methodology Police." If there is a common refrain to failed PMOs, this is it. The PMO becomes the viewed "The Methodology Police" tasked to enforce methodologies. Whether or not the methodology is any good is another issue. But to the point, at best, being the PMO police leads to complaints from project managers. At worst, it leads to open revolt and ignoring the methodology and the PMO entirely.
The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag answers a listener question about the success of outsourced PMOs.
