Welcome to PMO Edge, a space dedicated to exploring best practices, lessons learned, and proven approaches for establishing and growing effective Program/Project Management Offices (PMOs). Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to lead large-scale programs and help organizations strengthen governance, delivery, and alignment to strategy. Here is where I share what works, what doesn’t, and how to give your PMO an edge.
