The Project Management Office (PMO) is the department or group in an organization that defines and maintains the standards of process for project management. The PMO strives to standardize and introduce consistent project management methods and project management tools. It is generally the source of documentation, guidance and metrics on project management practices and the execution of projects.
A good PMO will base project management principles on accepted, industry standard methodologies and other quality standards for projects. They will also apply best practice processes in project management by collecting them through benchmarking and research. As a result, PMOs are exerting significant overall influence and evolution of thought to continual organizational improvement.
