In a recent blog post by Michael O'Brochta and Curt Finch at Project Smart, they refer the expression in the title to describe the relationship between a project management office (PMO) and an executive. As they elegantly put:
O'Brochta and Finch did a great job in discussing how healthy relationship between PMO and executives should be. Good that they are going to describe specific key performance indicators that a newly-established PMO can use to measure itself to ensure alignment with the needs of the organisation in their follow-up piece.
At the end of the day, success for either of them is dependent on the other. Executives depend on the work accomplished by project management offices for their own success, just as project management offices depend on executives for their success.
