What is Project Management Office (PMO)?

What is Project Management Office (PMO)?
By A1 Enterprise
Project Management Office is the process by which a project manager and project resources share project information and communicate on project issues. A Project Management Office organization is a group of project resources that are responsible for working on a project. The Project Management Office may be broken down in any number of ways, depending on the type of project.
When planning to setup Project Management Office one should cater to several key points:
- The nature of the project. Is this for construction project management? Engineering project management?
- What staffing is available for the project?
- What budget does the project manager have available for administration, project records, and overhead?
- Who must have access to project management records?
- Who will the project manager submit project management data to?
- How will project resources submit project data such as time, costs, budget requests, change order requests, and change order approvals?
Although a project manager may not have considered this information in detail, these questions can significantly simply the project management process and reduce project management overhead costs for the life of a project by utilizing a Project Management Office.
