And here’s what we talked about:
– What keeps you busy outside work?
– So you’ve been a PMO leader twice – this is your second time – did you have to setup a PMO from scratch both times around? How was the experience from one vs. the other?
– What did you feel you did the first time around that in hindsight you feel you could’ve done differently?
– And you’ve lead PMOs in both organizations that are product-based organizations – so how or when was the need felt to bring in project management along with product management?
– What’ve been the best resources that have helped you along the way?
– What’s the biggest challenge you have with your specific role right now and what’s your plan to conquer it?
– What’s one question that you’d ask yourself that I haven’t asked you?
– [Signature Question]
