Question #: 16
Topic #: 7

During a PMO value assessment meeting, you notice that some PMO stakeholders focus heavily on operational details, such as meeting deadlines, while others appreciate the PMO's strategic contributions. However, some stakeholders seem unable to recognize the PMO's broader value. How does stakeholder maturity influence the perception of PMO value?

BMature stakeholders recognize both strategic and tactical contributions

CLess mature stakeholders prefer technical metrics over benefits

DAll stakeholders, regardless of maturity, perceive PMO value equally

Show Suggested Answer

This question is a real brain-teaser, but I think B is the way to go. Mature stakeholders can see the value in both the tactical and strategic aspects of the PMO.

I'm going with A. If stakeholders don't have the right level of maturity, they'll miss the forest for the trees. It's like trying to explain quantum physics to a toddler.

Answer B is spot on. Mature stakeholders can see the big picture value of the PMO, not just the day-to-day stuff.
