Project Management Office

The Function of a PMO

A PMO is a function that supports all things related to project management:
  • PM Policies and Procedures
  • PM Tools and Methodologies
  • PM Human Resource Pool
  • Project Cost and Finance Tracking
  • Project Scheduling / Human Resource Scheduling
  • Project/Portfolio Monitoring and Reporting
  • PM Software and Collaborative Tools
  • PM Lessons Learned and Best Practices
  • PM Technical Library
  • Tollgate / Gate Review Coordination
  • PM Documentation Library
  • PM Administrative Processes
  • PM-related Sarbanes-Oxley Governance
  • Home of Project Planning "War Room"



PMO Advantages

PMOs allow project management resources to work efficiently because PM resources are co-located and governed by common processes, policies and procedures. Because the PMO assumes ownership of everything PM, it reduces burden on other the functions of the organization so that the other functions can concentrate on what they do best.

A PMO offers many strategic and operational benefits to organizations that have medium to large project portfolio, and is a definite plus to any organization whose goal is to have fully integrated project management.

A PMO brings value to an organization because it serves as a center of excellence for project management. Having a PMO is generally a sign of project management maturity within an organization, and signifies that the organization has taken the next step forward to make project management a core competence.
