PMO maturity assessment: a 12 question self check

Most PMOs produce reports and few produce decisions. Twelve honest statements, two minutes, and you will know whether your PMO is earning its keep, where it is a reporting function in disguise, and what to fix first.

Why this exists. A PMO is judged by the number of programmes that land, not the number of slides it produces. This PMO maturity assessment scores the four things that separate a programme office that changes outcomes from one that describes them: governance and decisions, planning and control, people and capability, and benefits and data. Nothing is stored or sent anywhere; it runs entirely in your browser.

A PMO uplift usually pays for itself inside one programme. A short, confidential conversation with someone who has set up and run programme offices on programmes up to £13bn, and has nothing to sell you, will tell you where to start.

This is a starting point, not a full PMO review. It cannot see your data or sit in your governance for a week. Treat a green as encouragement, and an amber or red as a prompt to look harder before you spend.
