AThe greater the number of functions performed by the PMO.

BThe greater is the PMO team.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

As the maturity of a PMO increases, it often shifts from providing basic support to delivering more strategic value. This shift in focus helps generate greater value for PMO stakeholders by aligning project outcomes with the organization's broader strategic goals. A mature PMO supports better decision-making, risk management, and resource allocation, leading to enhanced stakeholder satisfaction. Simply increasing the number of functions, team size, or costs does not inherently guarantee value; instead, the focus should be on delivering outcomes that matter most to stakeholders.

That's true, but the value generated should outweigh the costs.

But doesn't a mature PMO also mean higher costs?

D for sure. The whole point of a PMO is to add value to the organization. If it's not doing that, then what's the point, am I right? *winks*

Well, I was going to say A, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I mean, who needs a bigger PMO when you can just automate everything, am I right? *chuckles*

I'm leaning towards A, more functions means more efficiency, right?

I'm gonna have to disagree with my peers and say B. The more mature the PMO, the bigger the team. Gotta have the resources to handle all those functions, am I right?
