project-related governance processes and facilitates the sharing of resources,
methodologies, tools, and techniques. Although the responsibility of a PMO may vary
depending on its type and structure, the main difference between the role of a PMO and a
project manager is that the primary purpose of a PMO is to achieve the business objective
while the project manager needs to focus on the specified project objectives.
