Project-based vs. Product-based Teams
 Temporary endeavor
 Team members assigned and re-assigned; constant competition for
team member time
 Project goal is likely a feature and/or specific output
 Because there is not a sense of team ownership, the responsibility
for leading the team falls on the Project Manager
 Typically more command and control
 Projects finishing ”on-time” is important because team members
need to move to their next project.
 Because the feature/output was pre-determined, value is tested in
production.
 Team members are assigned to the team for a long period of time
(at least a quarter) and are dedicated to the team.
 Team is given ownership over a module, application and/or area.
 Team is giving a goal and/or outcome to achieve, usually with Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs)
 Team is all the skill sets needed to deliver on their goal/outcome.
 Because the solution is not dictated, teams can iterate to learn
what’s valuable to the market.
 Team leadership is usually shared amongst the Product Owner,
Engineering Lead and UX Lead.
 Focus on Discovery and Delivery

Does this mean we should never

As a PMO leader/team member, it’s our role to know when to use which

No, there are pros and cons for each approach.

Moving to agile doesn’t mean that a PMO no longer provides value; however, the
PMO will need to not only change how it operates but also leverage it’s strong
organizational power to enable and support the transition.
Aha moments and key takeaways from evolving a
waterfall PMO to one supporting and enabling
business agility
Organizations are looking to the PMO to lead the evolution and become subject
matter experts on various ways to manage work to ensure best fit for purpose.
Continuous learning is key.
New expectations for a PMO and why it's not a
one-size fit all model
There is no “one right way” to manage all works. Organizations will need hybrid
approaches.
Why a hybrid approach can be beneficial
Tactics that can be leveraged based on the planning situationNew project management tactics, including
#NoEstimates and #NoProjects movements
PMOs know the organization likely better than most. That knowledge can facilitate
and enable teams to work in new ways; PMOs can evangelize and champion these
new ways of working.
How the PMO can be a critical factor and
enabler for agile adoption and
organizational/enterprise support
Learning Objective Takeaways

  • 27. #PMOSym 27 @joannavahlsing Moving to agile doesn’t mean that a PMO no longer provides value; however, the PMO will need to not only change how it operates but also leverage it’s strong organizational power to enable and support the transition. Aha moments and key takeaways from evolving a waterfall PMO to one supporting and enabling business agility Organizations are looking to the PMO to lead the evolution and become subject matter experts on various ways to manage work to ensure best fit for purpose. Continuous learning is key. New expectations for a PMO and why it's not a one-size fit all model There is no “one right way” to manage all works. Organizations will need hybrid approaches. Why a hybrid approach can be beneficial Tactics that can be leveraged based on the planning situationNew project management tactics, including #NoEstimates and #NoProjects movements PMOs know the organization likely better than most. That knowledge can facilitate and enable teams to work in new ways; PMOs can evangelize and champion these new ways of working. How the PMO can be a critical factor and enabler for agile adoption and organizational/enterprise support Learning Objective Takeaways

Next week: How will you remind yourself of the mindset shifts that you learned today? What do you need to share with your team members? Next 12 months: What progress have you and your team made? What have you learned and what adjustments do you need to make?
