PMO Definition
PMO = Project Management Office.
It helps you choose the right work, set fair rules, and share simple, honest updates.
The myth: “PMOs slow things down”
People fear more steps, more forms, and more meetings.
That fear is fair if the PMO is built the wrong way.
The truth: A good PMO makes the right work faster
A well‑built PMO removes clutter. It cuts side projects, clarifies roles, and shortens the path to “yes.”
Corbeau Tech's model uses light rules, the right tools, and leader visibility so teams move with calm and confidence.
This “start small, scale smart” approach is how we stand up PMOs that work in busy clinical settings.
Three simple ways a PMO speeds you up
- Clear intake: One page that asks, “What is it? Why now? Who owns it?”
- Simple gates: Approve small work fast; review big bets with care.
- One dashboard: Everyone sees the same truth, so arguments fade.
(Research backs “fit‑for‑purpose” ways of working, choose the right approach for each project, and performance improves.)
Try this for 30 days
- Week 1: Stop two low‑value projects.
- Week 2: Approve one small “quick win.”
- Week 3: Share a one‑page status for the top five projects.
- Week 4: Ask the team what felt easier. Keep those changes.
