PMO

What is a Project Management Office (PMO)?

Copied!

Key takeaways
A PMO improves delivery by combining governance, support, and portfolio visibility.
A PMO sets standards and decision controls so projects stay aligned to business strategy and risk is managed early.

Supportive, controlling, and directive PMOs differ mainly by authority, from guidance to direct ownership of delivery outcomes. Useful PMOs prioritise the portfolio using transparent criteria, balancing value, risk, and capacity constraints.

Dashboards work best when paired with short narrative context that explains variance and prompts clear decisions.

Start with a clear charter and quick wins, then scale tools, training, and templates through continuous improvement.
