The Decision-Grade PMO
How modern project management offices turn AI into defensible decisions.
What it is about
Most PMOs report the past. This book is about the shift to a PMO whose outputs can be used immediately, cited confidently, challenged constructively, and defended under scrutiny. That is what decision-grade means.
It sets out the Nerve Centre operating model: six domain services, each producing structured Data Products on a repeatable cadence, held together by an Evidence Spine and released through a Publication Gate. AI sits inside that model under a five-rung Levels of Autonomy ladder, never outside it.
The argument is carried by two running case studies, Bramwold and Stellar, one commercial and one regulated, with a third taken through a full regulated-sector business case. All three are declared composites in the book.
Who it is for
PMO directors and leads, project controls professionals, programme sponsors and assurance practitioners working on major programmes, particularly in regulated environments where governance has to withstand challenge.
