A manufacturing company is in the process of establishing its PMO, and the PMO professional leading it recognizes that securing executive sponsorship and ongoing support is crucial for the PMO's success and mandate.

How should the PMO professional effectively secure and maintain executive sponsorship for the PMO?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Securing and maintaining executive sponsorship requires the PMO to be strategically aligned with the organization's goals and to demonstrate tangible value quickly. Aligning objectives and services with strategic priorities ensures relevance and builds credibility with executives. Delivering quick wins fosters trust and reinforces the PMO's positive impact.

Passive reliance on leadership recognition (Option A) risks neglect. Emphasizing best practices alone (Option B) without alignment or demonstrated value is insufficient. Implementing comprehensive models (Option D) may overwhelm resources and delay results.

PMI-PMOCP stresses that executive engagement is strengthened through strategic alignment and early value delivery.

I recall a practice question that emphasized the need for strategic alignment, which makes me lean towards C. But D sounds appealing too, with its focus on comprehensive services. It's tough to choose!

I think B makes sense too. If we can show that we're following best practices, it might help in gaining trust from executives. But I wonder if that's enough on its own.

I'm not so sure about option A. Just hoping leadership sees the value without any effort seems risky. We definitely talked about the need for proactive engagement.

I remember discussing the importance of aligning PMO objectives with company goals in class. It seems like C could be the right choice since quick wins can really grab attention.
