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.
I read these things looking for where the risk sat before it became an incident. It was almost always already written in some register nobody reviewed, with an assigned owner who never found out they were one. A risk identified and not managed is worse than one never identified: it creates the false sense that there is control.
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
- The size of the first useful delivery: the further out it is, the more it resembles a bet.
- 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.
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.
