- - - - With a PMO light mindset you might fall behind your competition that embraces a PMO Heavy mindset faster than you and realizes its gains sooner eventually forcing your company to fall behind.
    - - If implementing PMO Light works then over time you could transition into a culture that favors a PMO Heavy mentality more harmoniously
    - - PMO Light ensures the company would survive in the short term, with minimal business impact like the name implies (less turnover and appeasment to the current office culture).
    - - Let the current PMO leadership know that their slow approach is better for the company's long term survival and that retaining their employees and being agile to their needs has got them this far
    - - PMO Light is less divisive than PMO Heavy and more aligned with AtekPC's current culture but might have less measurable benefits compared to a PMO Heavy mindeset
  - - - PMO has to prove it's value before it can have upper managements full support but is hard to measure its value because the results are subjective and anecdotal.
    - - If implemented a PMO Heavy mindset would keep the company competitive for years to come through
    - - Implementation would be extremely resource intensive in AtekPC's immediate future and would be against their current culture potentially leading to turnover
    - - PMO Heavy support is harder to gain than PMO light support but can be gained by reaching out to the people it effects directly and showing them how having a PM will positively affect their workflow like they did in the Manufacturing and Sales divisions
    - - Creating metrics that are trackable to prove the value that the PMO creates rather than relying on anecdotal evidence
