“Digital Transformation” is the buzzword of the age, and for modern PMOs this means they are busier than ever. Gartner cites a whole range of Hot Topics for PPM, such as Demand Management, Resource Management, Programme and Portfolio Management, Reporting & Dashboards, Strategy realisation and so on. Yet many PMOs are still held back by inefficient manual processes, disconnected data sets and the ever-ongoing struggle of engaging stakeholders.
