The project management office is becoming the central organizational structure for standardizing the practices of the organization in the delivery of their projects. PMOs vary in size, function, value and many other factors. The Center for Business Practices surveyed a broad spectrum of organizations to get a clearer understanding of the variety of factors that affect PMO, including the following:
- Do organizations have PMOs?
- Where do PMOs fit in the organizational structure?
- How many projects are managed, rather than supported, by PMOs?
- What functions are performed by PMOs?
- How large are PMO staffs?
- What are the primary challenges facing PMOs?
- What value does a PMO add to the organization?
- Is there a difference between PMOs in high-performing organizations and PMOs in low-performing organizations?
The CBP surveyed senior practitioners with knowledge of their organizations' management practices and business results). Four-hundred-thirty-five people responded to the survey. |
