<p><span style="color:#000000"><span style="font-size:20px">7 Sample Requirements:</span></span></p>
<ol>
<li style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000">Establishing a PMO at a low level means that the manager has to swim against the main stream political current of not just those in the market side of the business but all of the it work force as well. Is your PMO established at the right level?</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000">If I am a resource, I want to know to what tasks I am assigned, and whether or not those tasks are on the critical path or critical chain. How will I know when the preceding resource will be finished with its work?</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000">If you take a pool of six people and split them among multiple projects. If it were feasible to apply all six people to one project, what would have happened to the cycle time (duration) of that project?</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000">If there are systems that will no longer support the organizations business needs, either through poor performance or excessive cost, how does IT leadership in the organization plan to address the issues?</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000">Maximize the value of products: Different products contribute to your companys bottom line differently. Is your product portfolio currently structured to contribute as much as it can?</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000">If the organization will be engaged in multiple new IT initiatives, how will the organization's IT staff and organization subject matter experts be used across the initiatives?</span><br />
</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><span style="color:#000000">Where does senior management wish to spend its resources when it comes to product innovation: on what types of projects and in what product, market, or technology areas?</span></li>
</ol>
