[All PMO-CP Questions]

A PMO is looking for ways to improve its Return On Investment (ROI) and is considering several potential actions. The team discusses strategies like enhancing maturity, focusing on strategic contributions, and optimizing project scopes. Which of the following actions would NOT be recommended to improve the result of the PMO ROI?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Expanding the range of projects under the PMO's mandate may dilute focus and resources, potentially lowering efficiency and value delivery. Improving ROI involves refining existing functions, enhancing competencies, and aligning activities with strategic priorities rather than overextending the PMO's scope.

I remember discussing how increasing team size can sometimes lead to inefficiencies, so maybe option A isn't the best choice for ROI.

Reducing PMO costs and redesigning functions - that's the one that stands out to me as not being recommended to improve ROI. The other options seem more focused on growing and enhancing the PMO's impact. I'm feeling pretty confident about this one.

Okay, let's see. Increasing the PMO team, evolving maturity, expanding the project scope - those all sound like good ways to boost ROI. I wonder which one wouldn't be recommended... Gotta read the question closely.
