Speaker: Riaz Khan

Topic: Enterprise Architecture & PMO - How to build a strong relationship to deliver positive outcomes for your organization

Overview:
It is well known that an effective PMO is key to successful and efficient program and project execution.  In other words, doing things “right”.   Enterprise Architecture is the discipline that plans and monitors enterprise transformation and aligns the business strategy with information technology capabilities.  In other words, doing the “right things” to support the business.   

Why is it organizations despite having both of these disciplines still struggle with effective enterprise transformation?  What can we done to use these disciplines more effectively to effect better business outcomes?   What are the roles of each discipline and how do they work together to create business value? 

In this presentation, Riaz will address these questions and will provide real life examples that can help build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture. 

Learning Objectives: 
• How to build a strong relationship between the PMO and Enterprise Architecture (EA) to deliver positive outcomes for your organization 
• Identify the different roles and functions of the PMO and EA as well as their similarities
