297: The Costly Agile Mistake Holding Your PMO Back with Fatimah Abbouchi

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers!

PMI Talent Triangle: Ways of Working

Agile and PMOs—two worlds that many believe can’t coexist. But the truth is, they must. In this episode, Fatimah Abbouchi joins us to break down the biggest mistakes PMOs make when trying to integrate Agile and governance, and what to do instead. 

We’ll uncover: 

✅ Why aligning your PMO too closely with project delivery methods leads to instability 

✅ How rigid processes slow down decision-making instead of enabling it 

✅ The real role of governance in creating agility at scale 

This conversation is for you if your PMO is struggling to stay relevant in an Agile-driven organization or you need to know how to not only coexist, but accelerate IMPACT together.
