PMOs and Business Intelligence Have the Same Drivers

Reading up on projects involving Business Intelligence (BI) I found an excellent Intelligent Enterprise article, “The Seven Pillars of BI Success”. What I am finding is a remarkable similarity between PMOs and their governance models and BI. This is because BI deals with centralizing information control that has been decentralized by department (silos) and many non-integrated systems with no strategic alignment process; this is similar to the problem that PMOs address in terms of project control. Centralizing both, in the right way, can pay off tremendously in reduced resource requirements for IT and projects (that can now be focused on project/information quality and completion), project/information alignment with strategies, and user empowering systems and information.

Same article deals with one company that found agile software development processes to be a key to BI success. Next post!

Do you see the similarities in PMO and BI requirements for success?
