Common challenges in setting up a PMO

Establishing a PMO that truly adds value is challenging. Many organisations face issues such as unclear objectives, poor resource management, and a lack of strategic focus, which often lead to PMO failure. Identifying these challenges early can prevent costly setbacks and ensure your PMO is built to succeed. Problems and Warning Signs:

Unclear strategic objectives

PMOs often fail when their role is not aligned with the organisation's strategic goals.

Inefficient resource management

Poor allocation of resources leads to bottlenecks and project delays.

Fixation on governance

Overemphasis on compliance can stifle agility and slow down decision-making.

Lack of visibility and support

Without proper visibility, PMOs struggle to gain trust and effectively manage projects.
