Establishing the Project Management Office:

Centralising Excellence:

Establishing a Project Management Office (PMO) is a key step in reaching project management mastery across the organisation.

Whether handling one or multiple projects, the PMO drives the levels of excellence and consistency in operational standards for planning and executing projects across the enterprise.

The PMO also acts as the focal communications point between senior management and the project delivery community and plays a pivotal role in the monitoring and maintenance of the project portfolio in relation to strategic objectives.  

The establishing of a PMO can improve resource management, highlight the importance across the portfolio of supporting projects with highest returns, and reduce project failure.

The Value of a PMO includes:

• Process ownership

• PM portfolio monitoring & analysis organisation wide

• Centralised PM training standards

• Standardised tools & templates

• Rapid PM incident response

• PM centre of communications

• Improved resource allocation

• Faster incident response
