A PMO professional is establishing a new PMO and needs to determine the optimal team composition to effectively deliver the planned PMO services. The PMO professional needs to consider both the number of team members required and the necessary skills and competencies to ensure successful PMO operation.

What should the PMO professional focus on to achieve this goal?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

To ensure the PMO team is optimally composed, the PMO professional should adopt a competency model that defines the skills and capabilities required for each PMO function, then assess and recruit team members against this model. PMI-PMOCP stresses competency-based staffing to align capabilities with service delivery requirements effectively.

Workload analysis (option B) supports headcount determination but does not ensure the right skills. Phased approaches (option A) and benchmarking (option D) are useful but secondary to establishing required competencies upfront.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think performing a workload analysis could really help in understanding what skills we need. It sounds familiar from a case study we reviewed.

I remember discussing the importance of starting small with a core team in one of our practice sessions. It seems like a safe way to manage risks initially.
