... Interesting book on PM and comments on PMI, PMBOK and the state of PM world by Andrew Buck - the blog now published in PMHUB blog:
"My book isn't necessarily a friend to my own profession because it mostly gives a swift kicking to the notion of the traditional Project Management Office. This is not a new or novel concept, since there's been a high sense of backlash over the seeming confusion in purpose to what a PMO is or "should be". The great misconception is that a PMO is a one-size-fits-all proposition, or that most project managers or heads of project management offices feel as if there is only a single model for what one should look like.
Bunk.
I take that sort of thinking to task, along with a few other notions and misconceptions about project management, PMO's, and the role and value of the profession as it's been diminished in the eyes of so many. There's more behind the story that I was careful not to state in the book, and I'll clue into the backstory of that now. In order to publish the book, I had to seek three legal clearances from three different entities: Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (SEI), The UK's Office of Government Commerce (home for ITIL, PRINCE2, and APM), and our old beloved Project Management Institute (PMI).
You'll be surprised at who hasn't responded to the request for clearance. I got almost instant legal clearance from SEI. A couple of days was all it took for the United Kingdom's Office of Government Commerce to provide the guidelines.
I'm still waiting for PMI to wake up. "
