PMO Retrospective

About

The PMO Retrospective skill provides a rigorous framework for conducting high-level reviews across completed projects and portfolio periods. It transforms project experiences into institutional knowledge by guiding users through structured gates—from data collection and reflection to pattern analysis and action planning. By focusing on systemic issues rather than individual project incidents, this skill helps organizations identify recurring bottlenecks, optimize workflows, and ensure that successes are repeatable across the entire enterprise.
