PMO 3.0: Transforming in a Time of Enterprise-Wide Change

Effective IT organizations are on the leading edge of change. Penn State's Project Management Office faces a triple challenge: maturing practices, remaining responsive to continuous demand, and evolving to align with an IT organization undergoing enterprise-wide optimization. Taking IT project management to the next level, we build on skills, processes, and relationships steeped in organizational culture and validated in practice. Our PMO has a new mandate to realign its organization, mission, and processes to support a reimagined organization. Efforts are under way to manage organizational change and advance PM practice with increased reach and impact across the university.
