It is evident that this year 2020 has undoubtedly been one of the most complicated of this century at all levels, not only because of the atypical nature of all the circumstances but also because the impact has been global, it has undoubtedly been an impact. 99.99% worldwide.
Against this background I want to share the First Part about my vision as a PMOfficer on the 3 main trends for a PMO for 2021 (and onwards of course).
In this first part is a global vision on how I see a PMO on these three main trends
In the second part we are going to share from my vision the Real Scenario (Current) and the Ideal Scenario (Future) with solutions and / or concrete recommendations.
The 5 big winners (hard to know and believe who has an efficient PMO)
Very evident this trend for this 2021, has been to promote Remote Work where it was shown that the vast majority of organizations were not prepared for it, just to mention the most obvious:
All organizations have project portfolios, and by 2021 the product portfolio will increase because the trend of digital services will continue; therefore it will be necessary to logically manage a hybrid portfolio (projects and products).
I look forward to what PMI will bring with PMBOK® Guide - Seventh Edition (and the one to be available soon) and its vision for "Hybrid Project Management and Direction" with the acquisition of DA! It can be a great boost or on the contrary, it will be a simple "facelift" to continue promoting training and certifications but very little contribution to actual execution in organizations.
Personal reflection: I hope that PMI's contribution on Agility is much more important than what has been seen up to now with the purchase of DA (Discipline Agile), because today I see many people giving the certification courses in DA when they have never managed a PMO or even led projects and / or products under agile frameworks.
On the other hand Axelos with a more flexible methodology such as PRINCE2 , but they have not yet made the leap in quality to really adopt more agility in Product management.

Undoubtedly, technology should be a support pillar for all PMOs, blockchain technology can (and should) be used for Project and Product Management but very mainly in Public Administration (At the Government level of each country).
This point is intrinsically related to the other two: Virtual Hybrid PMO
Simply and simply because all the resources that are used both at a technical, technological and human level are paid by ALL OF US through our taxes!
And as such they must be managed efficiently and today more than ever!
