PMO: The Next Wave for the Agile PMO

Agile is no longer the technical destination for digital companies. It’s a gateway for everything that has to happen next ~ what does that mean for the role of the PMO?

The Agile wave has already hit the beach, but it’s left in its wake a variety of new challenges to how PMOs add value to organizations in a world of increasingly complex and self-organizing teams.

On top of that, the post-Agile technology innovations hitting Enterprise (DevOps, Cloud, and now MicroServices) represent even greater disruptions to not only new organizational process and delivery models, but will force a complete transformation of the role that PMOs play within the organization as a whole.

Join us for a journey -- past the wave of Agile, through its wake, and into the next waves ambitious companies will have to ride and manage in their pursuit of becoming truly digital organizations. It’s no longer enough to be Agile. You have to be nimble and humble to navigate the next waves.
