The Intentional PMO is a professional learning community for PMO leaders, portfolio managers, transformation practitioners, and delivery professionals who believe success is not accidental — it is intentionally designed, leveraging the Planview Applications Ecosystem This community exists to elevate the PMO from administrative oversight to strategic leadership. We focus on deliberate portfolio design, disciplined execution, and value-driven governance that aligns strategy to outcomes. Inside the community, members explore real-world frameworks, tools, and thinking that help organizations move beyond reactive delivery and into purposeful execution. Every discussion centers on clarity, alignment, and measurable impact. What You’ll Find Here • Practical PMO frameworks and operating models • Portfolio, demand, and intake design strategies • Governance that enables — not constrains • Real-world lessons from enterprise environments • Thoughtful discussion, not noise • A peer community committed to professional growth Who This Community Is For • PMO Directors & Leaders • Portfolio, Program, and Project Managers • Strategy & Transformation Professionals • Enterprise Delivery & Governance Practitioners • Anyone building a PMO by design • Value over volume • Clarity over complexity • Design over drift • Outcomes over activity If you believe the PMO should act as a compass for the organization — guiding decisions, aligning investment, and navigating complexity with intent — you belong here. Welcome to The Intentional PMO.

In most PMOs, the most important work doesn’t happen in project schedules or dashboards. It happens in conversations. In trade-offs. In approvals, rejections, escalations, and “why we decided this instead of that.”And too often, those moments vanish — buried in emails, meetings, or someone’s memory. That’s where Logbook changes everything. In a connected Planview environment, Logbook isn’t just an activity feed. It’s the narrative layer of your portfolio — the living record of intent, context, and accountability that turns data into decisions and governance into leadership. From System of Record to System of Reason Projects, requests, and investments tell you what is happening.Logbook tells you why. Every approval, deferral, scope adjustment, risk acknowledgement, or priority shift becomes part of an auditable story — timestamped, attributable, and tied directly to the work itself. No archaeology. No side-channel explanations. Just clarity. This is governance without friction. Connected, Not Isolated In a mature Planview configuration, Logbook doesn’t sit off to the side — it’s woven through the lifecycle: • Intake decisions explained, not just approved• Funding changes documented in real time• Scope shifts justified when they happen, not after• Risks acknowledged with leadership visibility• Trade-offs captured at the moment of choice When portfolios roll up, Logbook rolls with them — preserving context as work moves from idea to execution to outcome. Transparency That Builds Trust Executives don’t just want dashboards.They want confidence. Logbook provides defensible transparency — not performative reporting, but decision intelligence. When priorities are challenged or outcomes questioned, the answers already exist, embedded in the record of how the organization navigated complexity. That’s how trust scales. The PMO’s Quiet Superpower Used intentionally, Logbook becomes the PMO’s most understated advantage. It elevates the PMO from reporter to institutional memory, from gatekeeper to strategic narrator.

Modern PMOs are no longer judged by how well they track projects, but by how effectively they align strategy, investment, and execution. Yet many organizations still operate PMOs built by default — reactive intake, fragmented portfolios, and tools configured as repositories rather than decision engines. The Intentional PMO exists to change that mindset. This community is grounded in the belief that successful delivery is designed, not accidental — and that platforms like Planview play a critical role when used intentionally. Planview is not merely a system of record; it is a strategic platform capable of shaping how organizations think about demand, prioritization, funding, capacity, and outcomes. When configured with purpose, Planview becomes the connective tissue between strategy and execution — enabling leaders to see trade-offs clearly, govern with discipline, and make decisions rooted in value rather than velocity. But technology alone does not create clarity. Intentional design does. Inside this community, we explore how to architect PMOs with Planview rather than simply in Planview. That includes designing intake models that reflect strategic intent, structuring portfolios that tell a coherent story, implementing governance that enables momentum instead of friction, and using data to guide decisions — not just report status. We focus on how real PMO leaders leverage Planview to move beyond compliance and into influence. If you believe the PMO should act as a compass for the organization — guiding investment, aligning execution, and navigating complexity with clarity — welcome. You are building The Intentional PMO.
