This document discusses the transition from a traditional to an agile project management office (PMO) model at New Zealand Post. It outlines the areas of expertise for an agile PMO and compares the traditional and agile project life cycle methods. The benefits of an agile PMO include increased visibility, improved planning and cost tracking, and better alignment of projects with organizational strategy and risk. The challenge is to achieve agility while maintaining governance and control. The solution is to engage with the business early, align initiatives with strategic priorities, and use portfolio management practices like a backlog to manage the project pipeline.
Customer-obsessed firms take an outside-in approach, relying heavily on collaboration, to deliver desirable products and services. Product, marketing, and technology teams exchange information with a wide circle of people, both internal and external to the company. Email remains the vehicle of choice: 77% of information workers use email for internal communication, while 76% use it for external communication with partners and clients. Over half of information workers are on email constantly. These interruption-driven activities reduce the amount of time spent on an actual task activity to a mere 18%. How does anyone get anything done?
Managing the chaos of work requires solutions that enable teams to have a centralized location to work collectively and share digital content deliverables such as documents, presentations, web content, and videos and capture the contextual conversations around the activities being performed. This webinar talks about the need for collaborative work management solutions and how they can bring greater productivity without adding extra work to the work you’re already doing.
Translating Strategy into Action with Enterprise Architecture WebinarPlanview
Jeff Ellerbee, Solutions Marketing Manager, Troux and author and former Gartner analyst Mark McGregor as they discuss why and how Enterprise Architects need to work closely with portfolio and project managers in order to deliver on the intended strategy.
Many enterprise architects mis-understand their business value and need ways to elevate EA in the eyes of their business colleagues. While most portfolio and project managers in an organization can easily recite their company strategy they are challenged to understand the meaning of that strategy and how it affects the choices they make. By working together enterprise architecture provide the meaning the PMO needs while closing the gap between the strategy and action that both groups need if they are to succeed in enabling the business to achieve its objectives.
Specifically learn how;
- The ideal connection points between enterprise architecture and the PMO work.
- Failure to increase cooperation could spell the end for both your EA and PMO initiatives.
- Planview is delivering cloud based solutions that address the needs of both architecture teams and the PMO individually and together.
