A PMO Professional works for a large retail corporation undergoing a significant organizational restructuring.

PMI-PMOCP™ guidance emphasizes that PMOs play a critical role inorganizational change enablement, especially during enterprise-wide transformations such as ERP implementations. Resistance from department heads signals misalignment, lack of engagement, or insufficient understanding of value. The PMO Professional must act as astrategic integrator and facilitator, not merely an administrative body.

Convening a meeting to understand stakeholder concerns and actively involving them in change management aligns with PMI-PMOCP principles ofstakeholder engagement, value communication, and organizational alignment. By listening to concerns, addressing misconceptions, and reinforcing the strategic benefits of the ERP system, the PMO helps rebuild trust and ownership. This approach increases adoption, reduces resistance, and improves morale.

Delegating resistance management entirely to the project manager (Option A) neglects the PMO’s enterprise-level responsibility. Forcing compliance (Option C) contradicts PMI’s people-centered change philosophy and often worsens resistance. Reverting systems (Option D) undermines strategic objectives and long-term value.

PMI-PMOCP™ explicitly supports proactive engagement, collaboration, and shared ownership as the most effective methods for sustaining transformation success.
