You are the PMO lead for the Enterprise PMO at a Fortune 500 company. The CEO asks you to attend a meeting where the CIO (head of IT) had an outside vendor conduct an assessment of IT projects, without your knowledge or input. The vendor presents on an analytics study they did on the IT projects managed by IT personnel only and those managed by your PMO.The vendor claims that the clusters in blue and green are the IT-managed projects, and the other three clusters are PMO-managed projects. They claim that the values of X1 is budget and X2 is on-time performance. The blue and green clusters represent those projects that are typically on-time and on or under budget. The other three clusters are over budget and delayed.

The CEO is demanding that you explain why your projects are always over budget and delayed.

What 5 questions could I ask the vendor?
