A PMO is being established in a multinational corporation. The PMO director has been asked to define the PMO's scope. The organization has a decentralized structure where regional offices have their own project management practices. The central PMO wants to standardize practices, but regional heads are resistant, citing local regulatory requirements. The PMO director needs to define a scope that balances standardization with local needs. What is the BEST approach?

Define the PMO scope to exclude all regional projects, focusing only on global strategic initiatives.

Define a PMO scope that mandates standardized governance and reporting frameworks globally, but allows regional adaptation of project execution practices to meet local regulatory needs.

Define the PMO scope to include all projects globally, with a directive authority to enforce a single, uniform project management methodology.

Define the PMO scope to include all projects, but with an advisory authority only, allowing regions to choose whether to follow standards.

What is a common technique to gain stakeholder advocacy for a PMO?

Making all PMO decisions unilaterally

Involving stakeholders in PMO decision-making

Withholding information from stakeholders

Focusing only on negative outcomes
