The PMO command line is a small program that talks to the same PMO you see on the board. You need a Cross account with access to PMO; your organisation's admin grants that in Cross Portal.

Who writes what is never guessed

Every change you make is recorded under your own name, so PMO always knows who you are and never fills it in for you.

Install the command line

Paste one line. It downloads pmo, checks its fingerprint before installing anything, and adds it to your path.

In PowerShell:

irm https://github.com/cross-systems/pmo-cli/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

Nothing else on your computer changes except the list of places Windows looks for programs. Step by step.

Sign in

pmo login shows a code and a page. Open the page in any browser, approve it with your Cross account, then check who PMO thinks you are.

pmo login
pmo whoami

Find your next task

PMO picks the one task you should work on now, and shows what "finished" means for its feature.

pmo next
pmo show <activity-id>

Close it with evidence

Say what finished it, so anyone can check later.

pmo done <activity-id> --evidence "Merged pull request 42"

Next steps

Read the PMO overview to see how projects, modules, features and tasks fit together.
