Why it matters

A project management office is worth the decisions it makes possible, not the reports it produces. Once the PMO becomes the function chasing status updates, it has already lost: the team learns to fill in the template and the real information goes back to travelling through the corridors.

My filter is the quality of the status report. If every project is green, the reporting system is not working: in any real portfolio some initiatives are in trouble, and a healthy organisation surfaces them in time rather than discovering them at the closure committee.

What usually goes wrong

Where it usually breaks is the handover to operations. The project is declared finished when it is delivered, not when the receiving area can sustain it. Three months later the team has dissolved, nobody documented anything, and operations lives with something it does not understand and cannot change.

What to watch

  • Whether the status report shows any red projects: an all-green portfolio is a portfolio without information.
  • Which risks are identified, who owns each one, and when they were last reviewed.
  • The size of the first useful delivery: the further out it is, the more it resembles a bet.

How I read this entry

I would use it to review how the organisation estimates. If historical estimates were systematically out by half and nobody adjusted the method, no project will land well: you are planning with a ruler that measures short and blaming the team for not reaching the mark.

The original story is published in another language; the excerpt is quoted as the publisher delivers it and the commentary is written in English.
