The PMO strives to standardize and introduce economies of repetition in the execution of projects. The PMO is the source of documentation guidance and metrics on the practice of project management and execution.

Strategic Role and responisibilty

idea posted by Inani Sarkar Sales/BD Manager, Aricent
PMO plays a unique position in taking strategic role and responsibilities in an organisation because of an exposure to the life of multiple projects.The organisation might receives various proposals and PMO's responsibility is prioritization of the proposals received. Prioritization are done by taking into consideration the cost,benefit, project resource availability, risk involved and project impacts.

Well before prioritization the PMO has to evaluate the proposals taking into consideration various criteria such as cost, benefit, strategic fit and stakeholders impact.

Project evaluation is one of the roles of PMOs.

Organizationall Factors

idea posted by Ranjan Saha Sales/BD Manager, Kanbay Software

When you set up and designing a PMO,

Start by establishing the organizational role  and power...

Reporting: A PMO can be set up as an independent group reporting directly to a executive committee. This potentially provides the office with considerable power and independence. Reporting is an important factor in considering role of an Project Management office.

Well when we are talking about organization factors, let us not miss down Ownership.

Ownership of resource is one the organisation factors and PMO can own the staff who undertakes projects which will extend PMO in owning an organization’s total pool of project resource. The choice of owning a resource depends on the expected extent of direct involvement in projects.
