It’s been some time we can hear about a trend of setting up Project Management Office or PMO.What is it, and what’s the value of this new organization for project and program management ?
Behind PMO is the idea to better control the risks of project management, which are multiple: missed deadlines, scope creep, lack in stakeholder involvement, unstandard reporting. But aren’t PMOs at the same time ad additional burden for project managers? In addtion to working with their teams and the customer, now they will also have to comply to PMO requirements? Is this not a waste of time for them?
