Creating and Sustaining a Project Management Office |
|
Overview |
|
|
Project Management Offices play a valuable role in creating a consistent and effective project management process for an organization. Most importantly they are a valuable resource to project teams for guidance on projects and are the central body for coordination of projects that are running simultaneously. Creating and sustaining a PMO involves change management because people must learn new skills and roles to move them from using old methods, structures and procedures to new ones. Having a clear strategy and process can make the difference between failure and success.
