The Project Management Office Global Alliance (PMOGA) was formed by Americo Pinto in 2017. For many years, PMOGA conducted PMO research in collaboration with over one hundred PMO leaders worldwide. This research culminated in the PMO Value Ring (PMOVR) Methodology. PMI saw the value
in this methodology acquired PMOGA in December 2023. Since the acquisition, PMI has wrapped the original PMOVR methodology in robust PMI layers, created a new practice guide, a study exam, and the PMI-PMOCP certification.

This presentation will focus on the details of PMO Value Ring Framework (PMOVR) as outlined in the new Practice Guide. Takeaways from this presentation are:

1. The fallacy of “PMO Types”
2. The PMO as an organizational unit
3. PMO Customers and their expectations
4. The PMOVR baseline elements, structural components and customer experience cycle
5. The ten steps of the value-generating PMO Flywheel.

Attendees will understand that the PMO customer is the center of the PMO Value Ring, and form the basis of everything a PMO does, including the outcomes it must achieve to satisfy its customer base, the functions it must perform to achieve them, the importance of constant confirmation from customers
and the cycle of PMO renewal.
