I am building our community’s project office, Project Together Office, and I will tell you how, week by week, with the real team: what we built, what we have delivered, the outcomes and the changes we made along the way. If you set up or run a PMO, every chapter brings the template to do the same and what it looks like in your organization.

Who is building it

  • Eduardo Montes — me. I sponsor the Office, I own the components and I decide the priorities.
  • Henry Douglas — responsible for ProjectAdm and technology.
  • Claude — Anthropic’s artificial intelligence assistant, who works with me on automation, scripts and content drafts. Everything that reaches you goes through my review.

The chapters

One a week, in this order (the plan; each chapter is added here when it comes out). Chapter 1 starts from how our community’s project office was born.

  1. Why a community needs a project office — and our own charter
  2. The method: the 10 steps and the 40 processes of the PMBOK 8 Guide
  3. The system: ProjectAdm and the boards where the work lives
  4. The templates and the filled-in example projects
  5. The portfolio: what comes in, what waits and what goes out
  6. The OKRs: how we measure whether the office delivers value
  7. The learning path: courses, quizzes and certificates
  8. Mentoring: following one person through a real project
  9. The assessments and the tools
  10. The books: turning what worked into a method
  11. The changes we made, and why
