PMO Starter Kit
Everything to stand up a lightweight PMO in your first 90 days — sized to the sequence that actually builds credibility, not a generic full-framework binder.
What's included
- ✓ 90-day sequencing plan (visibility → single standard → risk-scaled governance)
- ✓ Portfolio status collection spreadsheet, ready to deploy in week one
- ✓ One-page status report format (executive-ready, decision-first)
- ✓ Lightweight stage-gate template for Tier 1/2 projects
- ✓ RAID log and RACI matrix, pre-formatted to match the PMO's standard
- ✓ Guide: the questions to ask in your first round of project 1:1s
Most PMO templates online are generic full-framework binders — built for a mature, well-resourced PMO, not for someone standing one up from scratch in their first quarter.
This kit is built around the actual sequence covered in Setting Up a PMO From Scratch: The First 90 Days: visibility before control, one proven standard before a portfolio-wide rollout, and governance sized to risk rather than applied uniformly. Every document in the kit is designed to be usable in week one, not something you adapt for months before it’s ready to deploy.
This is the single most useful thing you can buy if you’re setting up PMO structure for the first time and want something you can actually use tomorrow, not a framework to study.
