PMO’s aspire to become next-generation PMO’s but continue tostruggle to make the transition from bureaucratic entities drowning

Today’s PMO must transform to become a changeagent for business technology, taking advantage of new
opportunities by stripping away inessentials and creating aframework of practices that promote total transparency.
