The Value of a Project Management Office

There is a great deal of evidence that points to the value of a PMO for consistent application of PM best-practices within an organization. Most organizations, however, if they focus solely on a traditional view of their projects, are not leveraging the full value of their PMO. The greatest value from a PMO comes from a strategic, business level viewpoint that includes a broader perspective of the projects managed by the group, and leveraging the group to become the drivers of the company’s future.
