Stop Managing Processes. Start Delivering Business Value.
Your PMO was created to deliver results. So why has it become part of the problem?
Too many Project Management Offices become expensive bureaucracies—obsessed with templates, reporting, tools, and governance while losing sight of the one thing that matters: delivering business value.
Project managers drown in administrative work. Executives struggle to see meaningful results. Teams are forced to navigate competing Agile and traditional approaches. And the PMO, originally designed to improve performance, becomes another layer of organizational friction.
It doesn't have to be this way.
The Agile PMO challenges conventional thinking about the Project Management Office and provides a practical approach to building a lean, adaptable, value-driven PMO that enables delivery rather than controlling it.
What You'll Discover-
Why PMOs fail: Recognize the hidden traps of process obsession, excessive governance, administrative overload, and technology-driven bureaucracy.
-
How to create real business value: Shift the PMO's focus from tracking activities and enforcing compliance to supporting strategic priorities and meaningful outcomes.
-
How to build a lean, effective PMO: Establish a function that empowers project managers, improves transparency, and eliminates unnecessary complexity.
-
How to bridge Agile and Waterfall: Position your PMO to support Agile/Scrum and traditional project delivery without forcing every initiative into the same methodology.
-
How to connect strategy with execution: Improve portfolio visibility, stakeholder alignment, and organizational decision-making.
-
How to make your PMO indispensable: Demonstrate its contribution to the organization so that it earns credibility, executive support, and continued investment.
Drawing on real-world experience and an easy-to-follow case study, Michael Nir explores the mistakes that undermine PMOs and presents practical principles for creating a Project Management Office that delivers lasting value.
Whether you're launching a new PMO, transforming an existing one, or struggling to reconcile Agile practices with traditional governance, this guide will help you rethink what your PMO should accomplish—and how to get there.
The future of the PMO isn't more process, more reports, or more control. It's greater agility, smarter execution, and measurable business value.
Stop running a PMO that manages projects. Start leading a PMO that delivers results.

Right of withdrawal
If you are a consumer you can withdraw from the contract in accordance with the following. Consumer means any natural person who is acting for purposes which are outside his trade, business, craft or profession.
Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
