Why PMO Society? Because Project Management Deserves More Than Just Sticky Notes

Welcome to PMO Society, where project management meets personality. I’m not just building this store because I love projects (which I do!), but because I believe project managers deserve something more—a place to celebrate the craft of getting things done. We’re more than Gantt charts and timelines; we’re the glue that holds everything together, and it’s about time we had a little fun with it. That’s why I’m creating products that speak to the quirky, hardworking, and occasionally over-caffeinated world of project management.

Now, you might ask, “Why start PMO Society?” The truth is, it all comes down to my "why," a concept I took to heart from Simon Sinek. My why is simple: Project managers need a community, a bit of humor, and, let’s be honest, some great gifts that go beyond the typical coffee mug (though yes, we’ll have those too).

I’ve spent my career navigating the intricate world of engineering project management. I’ve seen how effective PMs shape outcomes, and I’ve also felt the need for products that actually speak to our unique role. It’s not just about ticking boxes; it’s about celebrating the process that brings big ideas to life. PMO Society is here to do just that—offering products that inspire and delight while serving as a reminder of what it means to be a project manager.

Plus, I’m building PMO Society as part of my MBA capstone project. So, not only do you get amazing products, but you’re also supporting my educational journey. That’s what I call a win-win.

So, welcome! I hope you find something here that makes you smile, think, or even show off a bit of that project management pride. Because, let’s face it, being the "World's Okayest Project Manager" is still a pretty big deal.
