A PMO has a mandate to 'improve project success rates.' After two years, the success rate has plateaued, and the PMO director suspects the mandate is too broad to drive further improvement. The executive sponsor wants to see continued progress. The PMO director needs to refine the mandate. What is the MOST effective approach?

Expand the mandate to include more projects and a wider scope to have a greater impact.

Replace the mandate with a new one focused on a completely different objective, such as cost reduction.

Keep the mandate the same but set a higher target for the success rate to push for more improvement.

Conduct a mandate review that analyzes performance data to identify specific bottlenecks, then revise the mandate to focus on addressing those specific areas.
