(PMO) Deployment Implementing standard project management practices and improving project success rates are two of the main reasons why organizations establish project management offices (PMOs). Yet there are many complex factors that impact the ability of a PMO to operate effectively. Often overlooked is the crucial role a PMO can play in organizational governance, supporting centralized project prioritization and resource allocation decisions.
Recognizing the PMO’s strategic value, SLL has pioneered a process for designing, implementing, and refining the practices and structure of a project management office. Our process, which has been successfully applied within many Prosperity organizations, is scalable to fit PMOs at any level of the organization (enterprise, divisional, departmental, etc.).
