Why I'm Not Fond of PMOs and Alternatives to Yet Another Function - Johanna Rothman

Does your organization use a PMO as a way to manage the various P functions: project, program, and portfolio management? Plenty of organizations do use PMOs. However, I rarely see them as effective in furthering the organization's operational excellence or the strategy. Instead, I too often see them as yet another function that creates delays in the organization. (Note: I'm a consultant. No one ever hires a consultant when things are going well.…Read Article

How Autonomous Teams Help Everyone Learn and Improve - Johanna Rothman

This is Johanna Rothman's May 2025 Pragmatic Manager newsletter. The Unsubscribe link is at the bottom of this email. Have you noticed that some teams seem to be more effective than others? Most of the time, they manage their WIP (Work in Progress). They learn together. Often, they collaborate across the organization, such as in the image of a small-world network, above. But the big thing is this: They tend to deliver faster and more often than …Read Article

Consulting Tip 11: Choose Your Ability to Work Against the Client's Expenses - Johanna Rothman

Tim, a fellow consultant, explained he'd taken a transatlantic flight to deliver a keynote at a conference. I asked, “How was the business class on that airline?” He said, “I don't know, I flew coach.” It was at least a nine-hour flight for him. Surprised, I asked, “Why?” “The conference told me they could not afford business-class airfare.” I did not understand why Tim chose to optimize the client's expenses over his well-being and ability to d…Read Article

Employee Retention - The Shift from Great Resignation to Big Stay

The U.S. job market has recently undergone mixed trends. The “great resignation” of 2021 and 2022 elevated voluntary departures and then morphed into what some labor economists call the “great stay,” a job market with low levels of hiring, quits and layoffs. In this current state where it’s harsher than historical standards, people feel stuck where they are even if they want to move somewhere else. Companies have been aware, as the recent Linked…LinkedIn · United StatesSee the Story

Do Collaboration Terms Matter? In Defense of Mobbing, Not Teaming - Johanna Rothman

I'm a huge fan of team-based collaboration to complete small stories through the architecture. (The image above shows three small stories implemented through the architecture.) More collaboration means lower WIP (Work in Progress). That lower WIP allows the team to increase their throughput (finished features) and lower cycle time (release something useful faster). (See how that works in the Flow Metrics newsletter.) For years, I've used these t…Read Article

How Multitasking Affects Capitalization and What You Can Try Instead - Johanna Rothman

I've been working with a new-to-the-organization senior leader, Steve, who struggles with this challenge: He wants to capitalize some operational expenses. (That's a move from OpEx to CapEx.) He is convinced that will give him some freedom to change things while everyone is still working hard. So they've asked all the technical people to fill out time cards to describe how much time each person spends on which project. With that information, the…Read Article

How to Link the Team's Measures to What Managers Want - Johanna Rothman

Your managers want to measure all kinds of interesting pieces of data to run the company well. Much of that is reflected in your organization's Profit and Loss (P&L) statement. (There's a great site with an explanation of a P&L statement.) Notice any organization's three big numbers: Revenue, all the operating expenses, and net earnings. Do you know how to link those numbers to your team's measures? It turns out that the Pirate Metrics and the f…Read Article
