Project portfolio management is at a crossroads. Traditional approaches built on static planning and siloed tools no longer match the pace of modern business, and recent changes like Microsoft’s Project Online retirement underscore the need for PMOs to fundamentally rethink their approach.
The most effective PMOs are evolving from project trackers to strategic enablers, leading with real-time visibility, agility, and insight rather than just governance. This shift requires not only modern tools but a different mindset about how portfolios connect to business outcomes.
In this session, we’ll explore how forward-thinking PMOs are adapting to this evolution. You’ll see practical approaches to aligning strategy and execution in real-time, creating unified PPM ecosystems within Microsoft 365, and prioritizing work that drives measurable value. We’ll demonstrate how platforms like OnePlan integrate with Microsoft Project, Teams, Power BI, and Planner to enable this modern approach.
