Confluence for the Evolving Project Management Office (PMO)Atlassian
This presentation tells the story of a Confluence makeover that involved taking a failing, misused wiki and transforming it to support the needs of an evolving Project Management Office (PMO). From this case study, themes emerged that illuminate the practices which turn a wiki from the wrong side of the tracks to an indispensable resource for the PMO. I align features (and plug-ins) in Confluence with the practices I learned that will make projects run smoothly. I describe how Confluence can be used to enhance the mission of the Project Management Office (PMO). I identify different PMO value models and outline the major functions in relation to how they can be facilitated by Confluence. I compare varying approaches to the use of Confluence from small to large knowledge management needs. I describe how transparency can be achieved in project governance with the use of Confluence. I offer some insight into project auditing and business alignment using Confluence. I also describe how confluence can be used to strengthen operational resiliency. Through my description of this authentic case study, I lay-out best practices to using features in Confluence to support the functions of a Project Management Office.

3. My Story
I am the founder of Aguarra, and the first Scrum Master and Agilist in the Czech Republic. I am
passionate about discoveries of better ways of how knowledge-based organizations should be
managed, structured and organized.
I help to challenge the structure and routines in their organizations and removing bureaucratic
vertical structures, silos, obsession with budgeting, KPIs and prescriptive targets combined with
command-and-control management style. I replace it with lightweight methods, focused on
value delivery, and based on mutual trust, collaboration, creativity, experimentation and
environment that supports the intrinsic motivation of the people. I help c-suite executives to
understand agility and together we boost organization's performance and solve complex
problems creatively. I work internationally as trainer, coach and consultant.
To promote agility I founded the community Agilia and initiated a line of Agile conferences,
where we bring ultimate ideas and best talent to inspire us for radical organizational changes.
The Agilia conferences were recognized by the American website TechBeacon as one of the top
20 agile conferences in the world. In 2008, in the role of managing director, I led the first
“agile transformation” of the organization. In 2010 I founded Aguarra, a word I borrowed from
Guaraní language of Paraguay, meaning the wolf.
I hold a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering by the University of Zilina and gained an MBA
in 5 years program at Open University Business School in Milton Keynes, UK. I strongly value
ethical principles in business, in particular trust, partnership, collaboration, and engagement.

„In 2012 we have started process of company revitalization to prepare us for

Competence Team to work together and guide us through the process of change - agile
transformation. Starting with top management, Agile became part of our strategic
plans, in structure, in processes, in operations and in responsibilities. Quite radical
change for organization with long history and culture. Later Michal trained

new roles – ScrumMaster, Product Owner or agile managers. In following months he
