PMI PMO-CP Exam - Topic 6 Question 42 Discussion

During a strategic planning session, the PMO leadership team is evaluating the best approach to define the PMO's functions. The team considers whether it should follow a universally recognized model or type of PMO or adopt industry best practices. How should the functions of a PMO be established to best serve the organization and its stakeholders?
A) By identifying the specific benefit expectations of stakeholders and defining the PMO functions that will best fulfill those needs, ensuring alignment with organizational goals
B) By selecting and following a model considered to be a best practice, such as a Strategic PMO, Center of Excellence, or Agile, which may have worked well in other organizations
C) By implementing the same functions that are used in organizations recognized as industry benchmarks, assuming that they will be equally effective in this context
D) By directly asking stakeholders what functions they believe the PMO should perform, even if this does not necessarily align with strategic objectives or operational needs

I'm not entirely sure, but I think following a recognized model like a Strategic PMO could be beneficial, as mentioned in option B.

I remember discussing how important it is to align PMO functions with stakeholder expectations, so I think option A makes the most sense.
