The PMO Podcast™ Episode Summary
	The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story
	This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story presents, "PMO Setup with Processes On Demand, an interview with BOT’s Dave Larson.” Processes On Demand delivers customer driven features for the PMO. Processes On Demand is intended to save an organization such as an IT Department, a PMO, or a Project and Planning Office the time and effort typically associated with setting up, using, and maintaining three key requirements of just about any project office: First, Process On Demand provides project management processes and templates such as PMBOK and SDLC templates Second, Processes On Demand extends upon the processes and templates and provides policies and dashboards for Document Management, Project Type Selection, Active Projects Summary Dashboards that show Top Projects Status and Schedule, Cost, and Risk Summary Views And third: Processes On Demand provides integration to your Project Portfolio Management applications and Collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Project Server and SharePoint, or equivalents The end result is a complete PMO environment that can be rapidly set up and put to use.
	The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo
	The PMO Podcast Points Memo suggests, "Don't present ideas to management. " Most of the time, when people present ideas to management, let’s day a project manager has a great idea to present to the PMO manager, they pop into the office unannounced and ask, “Do you have a minute?” The PMO manager probably doesn’t, but replies anyway, “Sure, what’s up?”  With that, the project manager describes his idea and when finished says, “What do you think?” Well, almost always, the idea is good. And, almost always, it is more likely to be filed away and forgotten than acted upon. So, don’t present ideas to management. Rather, if you really think your idea has merit, then sell it to management.
	The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag
