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.
What I look at first in a case like this is not the plan, it is how often it gets corrected. A project that replans every month with fresh data lands far closer than one that spends a year defending the baseline it signed when it knew least.
What usually goes wrong
What I see fail most is the absent sponsor. They sign the kick-off, appear in the photo, and do not come back until there is a problem. Without somebody with real authority clearing obstacles every fortnight, the project manager ends up negotiating as an equal with areas that do not report to them, and loses.
What to watch
- Who the sponsor is and how often they actually show up — not on the org chart, in the calendar.
- 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.
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.
