Next time you attend your portfolio review or program steering group, ask yourself what this governance meeting is trying to achieve. Was it a good use of your time? Did you get good results, or could you have gotten the same result by reading a report?

A strong PMO ensures that governance bodies have enough time to make key decisions, de-risk programs, and bring escalations to light when necessary. As Rupert Taylor notes, "Good governance meetings should have clear agendas and be all about key decisions, not slides and text on screens. They should be judged on the quality of the discussion, otherwise they are just taking up valuable senior management time."
