GSD TALK: Transformational Program & Portfolio Leadership That Delivers ROI
Live Talk Oct. 16, 2024, 4:00 pm PST | Go beyond agile; learn how Program and Portfolio Leaders are the real heroes in juggling resources for crucial projects.
Governance is dead.
In the ancient days of quality control, when we needed humans to "DO" rather than "THINK" to bring a product to market, governance might have been the perfect solution. But today, innovation requires people to use their collective brainpower to solve problems and ensure companies stay relevant. Governance is the enemy.
Eliminating governance means that PMOs need a new playbook. And just renaming them AMO (Agile Management Office) isn't going to cut it. Executives are realizing they don't need governance, but they do need Program and Portfolio Leaders who can effectively redistribute resources from affluent projects to those with fewer resources, ensuring that all their business-critical initiatives reach the market within financial constraints.
Executives are also starting to recognize that Agile isn't the sole change discipline required to drive all initiatives to market efficiently. That would be akin to deciding that a company could eliminate Operations, Engineering, HR, and Marketing in favor of Sales, just because someone like Tony Robbins makes fantastic Kool-Aid!
Logically, companies require multiple disciplines to succeed, so it's not unreasonable that they might need to employ various change disciplines or "crafts" to drive their initiatives to market.

Not only is he a great speaker, but his follow-up after the meeting is always timely as he treats his audience with the utmost priority.”
– DEBY COVY, PMI Los Angeles“Jason Scott is a provocative and evocative speaker. His highly engaging and irreverent style leaves listeners more than just informed or even enlightened. It leaves them altered. Jason has an ability to cut through normal corporate-speak to the heart of the matter in a light and fun way, while lacking no clarity about what is at stake. Organizations and individuals who hear his message will be better because of it.”
