Business Environment Interface Concepts

Most executives and some business unit managers likely will have an inherent interest in the alignment of activities in the project management environment. The PMO will be able to describe that alignment and convey it throughout the relevant organization. It will facilitate executive and senior management involvement in organizational alignment decisions and provide advice regarding the impact and influence of their decisions.

The specified project management and project team organizational alignment will suggest and develop formal and informal professional peer relationships — another facet of business communication and coordination. Organizational alignment can be created with intended business unit and peer relationships in mind. Perhaps such alignment can be used to achieve a stronger integration of business and project management objectives.
