What I really appreciate is that it can help people who are just getting started thinking about their PMO to broaden their thinking and begin translating it to their unique organizational goals & strategies. Working through this, the issue eventually becomes "How do we apply this to our day to day project workload, resource allocations, etc.?" For what it's worth, I've posted a couple of online articles re: the very basics of project portfolio mgt., including some nuts and bolts tools and links to related case studies and info at other websites. You can find them at: * What's Project Portfolio Management and Why Should Project Managers Care About It? http://www.michaelgreer.com/ppm.htm * Too Many Projects? Prioritize Them! http://www.michaelgreer.com/prioritization.htm This is a great summary of the PMOs key strategic dimensions!

Provide a venue for facilitating stakeholder alignment during strategy definition for new projects. 2. Provide a venue for resolving cross-team risks and managing resource, schedule and scope interdependencies between projects.
