Enterprise PMOs are no longer choosing a single religion. Governance gates from predictive methods coexist with iterative delivery teams, especially where compliance and speed both matter.

Leaders who succeed document the rules of engagement upfront. That clarity reduces thrash when executives ask for “just one more waterfall report” while teams run two-week cycles.
