	The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo
	The PMO Podcast Points Memo presents, “Balance Theory with Practicality." When it comes to setting up and managing a project office, there is a lot of theory out there, but how much of that theory is practical? Whether it is a tool, a technique, a methodology, a process, a policy, or a metric, a theory that is not balanced with practicality is of little value to most PMOs.
