Organizations that rely on project and program management to deliver critical products and services often set up what is referred to as a PMO. The acronym PMO is typically used for a “Project Management Office”, but as we will see, the “P” in PMO is very important to understanding the structure, role, and responsibilities of that team. The “P” can refer to Project Management Office, Program Management Office, or even Portfolio Management Office. A PMO is a full-time group dedicated to project, program, and/or portfolio management. We will focus on the Project Management Office in this guide since it is the most common type of PMO.
The Project Management Institute has a definition of PMO in its PMBOK Guide Sixth Edition:
”A project management office is an organizational structure that standardizes the project-related governance processes and facilitates the sharing of resources, methodologies, tools, and techniques. The responsibilities of a PMO can range from providing project management support functions to direct management of one or more projects.”
