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

The classic mistake is treating risk management as a deliverable of the planning phase. The matrix gets built, approved, filed. Nobody opens it again until closure, when it serves to document that the risk was foreseen — which is exactly the opposite of managing it.

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

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.
