What should the PMO professional do first?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

After identifying significant gaps through an OPM maturity assessment, the first step is to develop a strategic roadmap that outlines targeted initiatives to improve maturity. PMI-PMOCP guidance highlights the importance of a structured, phased approach to maturity improvement that includes defining goals, prioritizing actions, and aligning with organizational strategy.

Training (option A), agile adoption (option C), or hiring (option D) can be components of the roadmap but should follow a comprehensive plan to ensure cohesion and sustainability. The roadmap ensures all improvement activities are coordinated, aligned, and measurable, optimizing resource allocation and change management efforts.

I'm not entirely sure, but maybe planning training programs could help? It feels like we should focus on the team's skills first before anything else.

I think the first step should be to develop a roadmap for improving maturity. It seems like a logical way to address the gaps identified in the assessment.
