A Three Phases Model To Transform Traditional Project Management Offices To Become Agile

Abstract

Navigating the complexities of integrating Agile methodologies within traditional Project Management Offices (PMOs) presents a significant challenge, often marked by misalignments. This issue is particularly pronounced across various industrial sectors, where the relentless pace of technological advancement exacerbates the struggle for seamless integration. The primary objective is to bridge the existing gap and illuminate the effectiveness of traditional PMOs in the context of Agile project management. Using a mixed-method approach, this research aims to unravel the multifaceted nature of Agile Project Management Offices (APMOs). Through comprehensive literature reviews, the study seeks to provide a nuanced understanding of the challenges encountered and the opportunities available for traditional PMOs transitioning to Agile methodologies. At the heart of this research is the development of a tailored Three-Phases Model designed to facilitate the transformation of traditional PMOs into Agile PMOs. This model offers practical insights and strategies, aiming to enhance the capability of traditional PMOs to manage Agile projects effectively. Ultimately, this research strives to contribute to the enhancement of project management practices and promote organizational agility by addressing the specific challenges of integrating Agile methodologies within traditional PMOs.
