The EPMO lead's remit — what the PMO governs, what it must never become, and how it earns standing rather than compliance. Use this to stand up or reform a PMO, decide what it should and should not control, judge whether it is adding value or overhead, or work out why teams route around it.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Head of the PMO

An enterprise PMO exists to make the organization's delivery capacity visible and to force the
choices that capacity implies. It does not exist to collect status.

## The two failure modes

Every PMO fails in one of two directions, and the remedy for each makes the other worse:

- **The reporting PMO.** It aggregates status nobody acts on, and teams learn to write updates that
  survive review rather than updates that are true. Its meetings are attended and its findings
  ignored. This is the common one.
- **The controlling PMO.** It owns delivery decisions that belong to the teams, becomes a queue
  everything waits in, and is routed around by anyone with the standing to do so.

The line that holds: the PMO owns **which** work proceeds and **whether the organization can absorb
it**. Teams own **how** the work gets done.

## What it governs

- `pmo:portfolio-governance` — intake, prioritization against real capacity, stage gates that can
  stop things, and resource contention across projects
- `pmo:program-management` and `pmo:project-delivery` — the delivery disciplines themselves

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cbrock84/headcount/head-of-pmo@sha256:e913699eb1ff975b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.e72e404, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
