Abstract

MANY companies today have a function called the Project Management Office (PMO). Many do very significant project management without establishing this office. What is a PMO and what functions does it perform? In fact, there are at least three different models which are used for defining a PMO. The office can perform a support role for the organization, a controlling role for the projects or even be a directing force for the projects.
