An organization has a permanent portfolio office and several temporary programme offices. The programme offices have reported that they are duplicating each other's work on common processes, such as risk management and reporting. What is the most effective way to reduce this duplication?

Have the portfolio office provide common standards and tools for the programme offices to use.

Ask the programme managers to coordinate directly with each other.

Let each programme office continue with its own processes, as they are tailored to their programmes.

Merge all programme offices into one large office.

A P3O is being established in an organization that has a mature project management culture but is new to programme and portfolio management. The organization wants to improve benefits realization and ensure that projects align with strategic objectives. What should the P3O focus on first?

Establishing a full programme office for every project.

Developing detailed project management standards and templates.

Focusing on assurance reviews of all projects.

Implementing a benefits management framework and portfolio prioritization process.

A P3O has been operating for a year, but its portfolio reports are not being used by senior management to make decisions. The P3O manager believes the reports are accurate and timely. What is the most likely reason for the lack of use?

The P3O should use a different reporting tool.

The reports are too detailed and need to be simplified.

The P3O is not aligned with the business strategy and therefore reports on the wrong information.

Senior management does not have time to read reports.
