This is a tricky one. I think the key is understanding how the overall maturity of the PMO can influence the relevance of the performance indicators. More mature PMOs may have different needs and priorities than newer ones. I'll need to consider that angle when evaluating the options.

Okay, I've got an idea. The relevance of the indicators likely depends on the specific goals and priorities of each function within the PMO. Some functions may be more focused on financial returns, while others are more concerned with stakeholder value. I'll try to match the indicators to the function's key objectives.
