Host Jeff Plumblee interviews Arif Ansari, Director of Portfolio and Project Management at VentureWell, discussing how people think about project management, how to optimize the contributions of remote workers, and how to get requirements from people who don’t know what they want. They cover best practices for building a PMO and where project management is headed in 10 years. Listen in for a perspective on being impactful as you solve pain points. Key Takeaways:

Arif describes differences in project management in the fields where he has worked. The issues were: regulatory, process, growth, speed, and cost, depending on the stage of the company. Everyone wants urgent action without concern about doing things in the right way. Nobody gets documentation right!
There must be intentional equality of access. Meetings should be optional with video optional. Record meetings. Arif uses design thinking to get the best experience for all users. Leadership wants results.
Because most people have inaccurate ideas about project management, Arif asks them about their pain points, not about projects. He looks for ways to quickly solve problems for people and then checks on how the solution works for them. He is building VentureWell's PMO strategically.
Arif’s tips for building a PMO: Have a sense of resilience. Tell compelling stories in layman’s language about the impact you will make. Separate strategy from tactics. Apply prioritization. Arif’s most challenging experience was at Express Scripts, turning siloed functions into a functional unit. One group meeting helped!
Arif uses waterfall and Agile processes. Arif tells how he applied Agile methodology to a waterfall project. You should be using both methodologies as needed. Apply user-centric design to keep a PMO from failing. Ari expects that all people will start applying a project management approach to their daily work.
