A PMO is considering presenting its stakeholders with a "menu" of available functions to streamline the process of aligning expectations.

Why is presenting a ''menu'' of PMO functions to stakeholders considered flawed?

AIt demands significant effort from the PMO staff to manage the selection process

BStakeholders may lack the expertise to identify the most suitable PMO service

CIt simplifies the PMO's responsibilities, limiting its potential contributions

DStakeholders typically prefer choosing specific project managers for their teams

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Mature stakeholders understand and appreciate both tactical and strategic contributions of the PMO. Less mature stakeholders may focus only on operational details, such as meeting deadlines or project metrics, without recognizing broader benefits like alignment with organizational goals.
