31% Success Rate: Why Your PMO is a Cost Centre, Not an Engine
Only 31% of projects meet their original goals. If your PMO isn't focused on decision latency, it is an overhead you can't afford.
The Pulse of the Profession is clear: only 31% of projects achieve their original goals. The rest are commercial failures. The primary driver of this failure is decision latency. Your PMO should be a Gross Value Add (GVA) engine, not a reporting overhead. If your project managers are spending more time on slides than on clearing blockers, your ROI is already dead. In 2026, speed is the only sustainable advantage. Audit your PMO today for impact, not activity.
