SPaMCAST 847 features a wide-ranging discussion with Pete Oliver-Krueger and Michael Dougherty. We discuss their new book, Shift: From Product To People. Shift is a business novel of organizational change. You will find this an important view into change and transformation. We also hit science fiction and psychology. I even dissed George RR Martin. Also a quick content warning – there is laughter in this podcast. If you don’t like listening to people have fun while they discuss a serious topic listen anyway.

We shall leverage a new Agile Mindset Mapping Index (AMMI) focused on the PMO and a starter to expand this within your organization. Clearly, the "Rome PMO" wasn't built in a day and nor will you evolve your PMO from "foe" to "friend" overnight, but this will help embark you on that journey!
