202: A PMO Leader With No PM Experience

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills (Leadership) Hey, IMPACT Driver!  Are you ready to dive into a hot topic that often sparks debates in the PMO community? I know I am!  Today, I answer the age-old question: Should a PMO leader be required to have project management experience?  It's a controversial topic, with some arguing that experience is crucial for success, while others believe too much experience can hinder a leader's effectiveness.  So, what's the answer? Can a PMO leader without much project management experience still be successful in their role?   Join me in this episode now to explore the pros and cons and hear some tips on what YOU can do to be successful as a PMO leader, regardless of your level of project management experience.  Enjoy!  P.S. - Have you registered to join us for the very first International PMO Day this Tuesday, May 9th, 2023?
