A manufacturing company has been running projects for years, but senior management is frustrated that projects deliver outputs without clear, measurable improvements to business performance. The company wants to adopt Best Management Practice principles to extract more value from its investment in change. Which combination of actions best aligns with these principles?

Increase the number of project managers and provide them with more detailed project plans

Adopt a standard project management methodology and train all staff in its use

Require every project to produce a detailed business case and then close the project once the outputs are delivered

Which factor is most likely to influence the timescale for implementing a P3O?

The number of employees in the HR department

The size and complexity of the organization

The color scheme of the P3O logo

The type of coffee machine in the office

To ensure it is properly planned, resourced, and governed

Which of the following is a typical problem that establishing a P3O is intended to solve?
