According to the PMI-PMOCP Strategic Alignment domain, PMOs mustcontinuously align their services, processes, and competencies with organizational needs and senior executive expectations. Dissatisfaction from the CFO and CIO reflects a misalignment between the PMO's outputs and stakeholder needs.
The best approach is for the PMO manager toconduct a thorough assessment of senior executive expectations and needs, then adjust the PMO's processes and staff competencies accordingly to deliver measurable value. This may include reworking reporting content, improving technical skills, and adapting PMO functions to better support strategic objectives.
Options A and B are more reactive and limited to communication or reporting improvements without addressing underlying process and competency gaps. Option D, while related to IT skills, is too narrow and tactical without considering broader strategic realignment.
PMI standards emphasizeongoing stakeholder engagement and adaptive PMO capability buildingto maintain relevance and value delivery.
