(Not) PMO-in-a-Can:: Pragmatic Management of Strategic Objectives

by PMP D. Andrew Buck

The approach of "(Not) PMO-in-a-Can..." is unapologetically irreverent. Through 3 decades in various organizations, Andrew Buck underscores attitudes toward what works and what doesn't. Many books will speak about "Establishing a PMO", as if an amorphous administrative function revolving around administration, process and tools will add value and automatically improve project performance. Too many organizations failed with this approach because it didn't translate to tangible success criteria. "(not) PMO-in-a-Can..."challenges this by ushering a change-oriented thought process.

I was hoping to get more out of this book and was very disappointed. As for my parakeet she was very happy . She seem to of gotten more out of this book then I did after learning her cage with the pages. It certainly was a PMO right in the can. Save yourself the time and aggravation unless you own a bird

Note: I'm the author of the book, and posted it here to provide a forum for other readers to provide feedback and commentary. The book represents the teachings of 3 decades in business initiatives and project/program management from a practitioner perspective, as well as unapologetic findings, observations, and strategic vision on how to improve organizational investment in their projects and initiatives. It's a must-read for those responsible for project success.
