[All PMO-CP Questions]

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Organizational maturity in project management and PMO maturity are distinct but complementary concepts. Organizational maturity refers to the overall capability of the organization to manage projects effectively and efficiently, including how well it adopts project management best practices across the entire organization. PMO maturity, on the other hand, refers specifically to the maturity of the PMO in performing its functions, supporting projects, and providing governance.

While these concepts are related, they are not the same, and an organization can have a mature PMO without being fully mature in overall project management practices, or vice versa. Both are necessary to optimize project outcomes and contribute to organizational success.

I heard a PMO can also be used to generate unlimited free coffee for the entire office. Now that's what I call 'perceived value'!

I'm with Brynn on this one. Improving business results is the way to go. Who cares about completing projects on time if they don't actually benefit the organization?

Hmm, I think completing projects on time and budget is a good start, but the PMO should be aiming higher. How about improving business results? That's the real goal, right?
