the direct management of one or
more projects. Types of

Offices (PMO)

Page 18 / 56

A primary functions of a Project Management Office PMO is to support project
managers in a variety of ways, which may include but are not limited to:
❖ Managing shared resources across all projects administered by the PMO;
❖ Identifying and developing project management methodology, best practices, and
standards;
❖ Coaching, mentoring, training, and oversight;
❖ Monitoring compliance with project management standards, policies, procedures,
and templates by means of project audits;
❖ Developing and managing project policies, procedures, templates, and other
shared documentation (organizational process assets); and
❖ Coordinating communication across projects.
The project management office may have organization-wide responsibility. It may play a
role in supporting strategic alignment and delivering organizational value. The PMO
integrates data and information from organizational strategic projects and evaluates how
higher-level strategic objectives are being fulfilled.
Page 19 / 56

This form of PMO is common, Its role is to basically provide needed support to one or more
projects. Often referred to as the Project Management Unit (PMU); incorrectly as the Project
Management Team (PMT); or, if performed by an external organization, also called the Project
Management Company/Contractor (PMC). This type of PMO can be found within a specific
department for the purpose of a single project, or it may be established as a separate entity
within the organization, though not at senior/executive levels.
A PMO may have the authority to act as an integral stakeholder and a key decision
maker throughout the life of each project in order to keep it aligned with the business
objectives. The PMO may:.
❑ Make recommendations,
❑ Lead knowledge transfer,
❑ Terminate projects, and
❑ Take other actions, as required.
PMC
PMU
PMO
This PMO would cease to exist once the project it supports ends. It is worth noting that although the PMO
ceases to exist for the purpose of the project for which it was set up, its members and infrastructure may
amalgamate to serve another project, as yet another PMO.
Page 20 / 56

The Program Management Office PMO as, “The organization responsible for
defining and managing the program-related governance process, procedures,
templates, etc. supporting individual program management teams by handling
administrative functions centrally, or providing dedicated assistance to the
program manager”
The functions of the program Management Office PMO is to support the program manager by:
❑ Defining the program management processes and procedures that will be followed,
❑ Supporting the management of the schedule and budget at the program level,
❑ Defining the quality standards for the program and for the program's components,
❑ Supporting effective resource management across the program,
❑ Providing document and configuration management (knowledge management), and
❑ Providing centralized support for managing changes and tracking risks and issues
In addition, for large and intricate programs, the program management office may provide additional
management support for personnel and other resources, contracts and procurements, and legal or
legislative issues.”
Page 21 / 56

As evident, this type of PMO would serve multiple projects under the same program. It is typically
incorporated within the organizational structure of a program. Its placement and ‘seniority’ within the
organization is contingent on the seniority and significance of the program it supports, possibly also at
the level of the organization to which its manager reports (Director, VP, CEO, etc). In practicality, the
seniority, influence, and control can be apportioned to the size of the portion of the balance sheet of
the organization that the PMO is addressing.
Nevertheless, the span of influence and control of this type of PMO is limited to the scope of the
program it supports, and although some programs can span many of years, the PMO ceases to exist
once the program it supports is closed, either for delivering its expected benefits, or is terminated.
Page 22 / 56

The description of the role of the Portfolio Management Office PMO is the
most extensive of all three. The standard delineates the role of the PMO to be
one that: “coordinates the management of its assigned portfolio
components.
The responsibilities of a management office are variant :
PMI advocates that it is the PMO's responsibility to centrally manage and coordinate
“the portfolios that lie in its domain,” and that ‘the responsibilities of this office may range
from providing portfolio support functions to actually managing the portfolio” It is
also part of the PMO's role to “recommend the selection, termination, or initiation of
actions necessary to ensure the portfolio remains aligned with the organization
strategic objectives”
Page 23 / 56

The functions of the Portfolio Management Office PMO lists in standard :
▪ “Aggregate and provide performance results to the portfolio components
▪ Define portfolio management methodology, best practices, and standards, for use
as guidelines while formulating the methodology and standards for project and
program management
▪ Forecast supply and demand for a portfolio that can be further broken down into
supply and demand for projects and programs

▪ “Managing portfolio components, supporting component proposals and
