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
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
- How it was estimated and how close the same organisation's previous estimates turned out to be.
- 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.
How I read this entry
The way I would bring this down to earth is by shrinking the size of the deliveries. An eighteen-month project with nothing visible before month twelve is a bet, not a plan. I would rather have six deliveries that stand on their own, even if the total takes a little longer, because each one corrects the course.
