Hence, you need to <strong>report positive changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If your PMO manages to produce quick wins at an early stage, this will have a beneficial effect. Stakeholders will be happy that at last someone is addressing issues that have been neglected for too long.<\/p>\n<p>The stakeholders will be more open-minded towards the PMO.<\/p>\n<p>A quick success for your PMO could be a complete project list, which is also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to date<\/li>\n<li>Substantial<\/li>\n<li>Prioritized (ideally)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This would show all stakeholders what people are actually working on.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>PMO Goal and Benefit:<\/strong> With quick, small successes, you will increase acceptance and create trust in your PMO.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"Chapter6\">6.
