About this title

Synopsis

The creation and implementation of a Program Management Office (PMO) is one of the most challenging roles a leader can undertake. To succeed, you need a thorough and workable understanding of project management, targeted leadership strategies and business communication, while also coordinating with team members, stakeholders, and executives alike.

Karen M. Marks M. Ed, understands the process well. During her thirty-five years in the corporate world, she developed a thriving, cohesive PMO within the medical-device and pharmaceutical industries. In her new book, Experiences in Building and Leading a PMO, she passes on the insights she gained from leading one of the largest PMOs ever to serve a corporate environment.

Marks shares the tools and processes vital to PMO success, including

securing the support of high-level management,
facing the challenges of prioritization,
assuming a leadership role,
handling internal politics, and
working towards continuous improvement.

Personal experiences and anecdotes—good and bad—demonstrate the many opportunities and obstacles faced by PMO project managers and offer insights for how to handle such moments.

A centralized Program Management Office adds cohesiveness and efficiency to any corporate environment. Discover the road to PMO success, trail blazed by one of the best in the business.
