In a company using multiple delivery methods, the PMO's recommended communication channels are delaying information to team members and harming delivery. How should you prevent this in the future?

The best approach is to agree with the project team on appropriate collaboration methods and ensure continuous information sharing. This aligns with agile principles of self-organizing teams and adaptive planning. By involving the team, you leverage their expertise and gain their buy-in, leading to more effective and timely communication. Keeping current methods until delivery ends and proposing changes during the retrospective is reactive; it allows the problem to persist, further harming delivery. Following enterprise-level policies and frameworks is important, but if those policies are causing delays, a project manager must adapt within the project's context while still adhering to overarching guidelines where possible. Informing the sponsor that you will adopt your own communication model without team collaboration is autocratic and risks alienating the team, potentially creating new communication problems.
