If anything, I'm seeing many PMOs shift from directive to supportive through greater adoption of self-management and self-organization (within policy & standard constraints).
in my opinion It depends if the organization start to adapt the agility then PMO moving from directive to supportive as explained by Kiron.
However if the origination get difficulties to adapt with agility the PMO moves from visa versa or moving to controlling stage as some organizations built PMO for such purposes.
Remember that:-
There is no standard how to organize PMO.
There no standard process for PMO
PMO can vary of success rate. Saving Changes...

Karthik, well the first thing that comes to mind is the project management maturity of the organization. Perhaps it is lacking. Also there may be a directive from the top for the PMO to manage all projects. This can centralize control and reporting, and in the minds of some senior stakeholders, get better results across projects. Then there is the organizations that just do things that way; command and control from the top and no flattening of organizational project management structures. I have to agree with Kiron that they (organizations) are moving away from this type of structure to a more supportive PMO. Saving Changes...
