The document provides information about a hybrid module called the Organizational Projects Management Office (OPMO) that combines portfolio, program, and project management functions. The OPMO aims to align all organizational components with strategic objectives, standardize practices, develop competencies, manage resources across components, and facilitate organizational learning. Key functions of the OPMO include monitoring component performance, multi-component coordination, strategic management, and ensuring organizational benefits are realized. The OPMO structure centrally manages all organizational components and change initiatives while integrating with business units.

• It is a structure formed by the organization in order to promote and
improve project management through the adoption of appropriate
methodologies to minimize risks, conflicts and achieve satisfactory

time, scope and budget (PMI, 2013).
