PMO is a body that enforces governance during project execution. PMO is supposed to ensure that processes are defined and then followed during execution. Typically the items where deliverables have to be defined are:

 - Deliverables for each phase of a project

 - Communication plan

 - Project Statusing (Items and frequency)

 - Escalation procedures

 - SLAs for project issue resolutions

 - Risk & Issue Management

 List is a bit longer than this but the above items should provide you a good idea on what type of things PMO oversees.

 Hope this helps.

Hello

Just to summarize  the function PMO- the name itself suggests that the Project Management Office holds the project together. Its more a significant function for a multi-faceted project, where you may have different core project functions working for different phases of the project or program at different levels and various locations, all working towards one goal- " The ultimate project completion within prescribed time and quality". Its the PMO which brings all these together acting as a strong mediator between the top management and the core team working towards the program.
