Ready To Roll Out
Ted Stephens   (June 29, 2006)




Establishing a PMO involves a degree of change that will be felt across the organization. As you move forward with implementation, it is essential to understand the impact on all stakeholders, gain wide support for the changes, clarify accountability and maintain two-way communication.
