This week’s PM Debate podcast digs into one of the profession’s biggest questions:

Should every organization have a PMO?

I say yes. Mary Elizabeth says not so fast.

In this archived episode, we debate:

* Whether PMOs are strategic necessities or expensive overhead

* Why small businesses might be overspending on structures they don’t need

* What it really takes to make a PMO succeed, and what makes them fail

We also tackle questions like:

* What is a corporate PMO, really?

* Are some industries just not built for them?

* Can a bad PMO do more harm than good?

The debate is still just as relevant today as it was then, especially as PMOs evolve into transformation engines in a changing world.

👇 After you listen, let me know:

Do you believe every organization benefits from a PMO? Are we forcing a structure where it doesn’t belong?
