Large enterprise organisations usually have a Project Management Office (PMO) whose responsibility it is to oversee a standardisation of project management practices across a portfolio. This can often be in conflict with the Agile principles of self-organisation and inspect and adapt. We describe how one of Yahoo! Europe’s teams helped implement a process which was compatible both with Agile values and principles, and European PMO standards, and also how it has influenced International Process Framework evolution. As a result, we demonstrate that a PMO process can be compatible with an agile process, and that a PMO can add value to agile teams.
