The Effect Of A Project Management Office On Project And Organizational Performance: A Case Study

Jaco van der Linde & Herman Steyn

Depending on the specific needs of the host companies, Project Management Offices (PMOs) are created and mandated for different reasons. As a result of varying mandates and functions of PMOs, there is no agreed upon method to determine the value of a PMO. By studying a case of an organization that recently implemented a PMO, this paper provides some insight on ways to determine the value of a PMO. Three new methods of determining the value of PMO are proposed.

Keywords: Project Office, Project Management Office, PMO, Project Portfolio Management Office.
