Presentation Synopsis

This presentation examines how the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) envisions the transformation from a traditional Project Management Office (PMO) to a Value Management Office (VMO). It explores what this shift means for project and program managers, highlighting how adopting a VMO can significantly enhance an organization's ability to deliver value.  Specifically, you'll learn:

  1. What a VMO is
  2. Why you would want to transition to one
  3. How you can advocate for and implement it
  4. How lean portfolio management supports the VMO
  5. How to get ready to make the change
