The approach of "(Not) PMO-in-a-Can..." is unapologetically irreverent. Through 3 decades in various organizations, Andrew Buck underscores attitudes toward what works and what doesn't. Many books will speak about "Establishing a PMO," as if an amorphous administrative function revolving around administration, process and tools will add value and automatically improve project performance. Too many organizations failed with this approach because it didn't translate to tangible success criteria. "(not) PMO-in-a-Can..."challenges this by ushering a change-oriented thought process.
