PMO's are the focus for the remainder of the month.

If your organization currently has a PMO, what purpose is it serving your organization? Does it support the execution of your organization's strategy?

...

The last two organizations I worked for dropped their PMO's and my current one has never had one. I would tend to say that if an organizational utilizes waterfall in their projects, has executive support, and would benefit from standard systems and processes, then a PMO is the way to go. On the other hand, if they are an Agile shop, they would probably do better without a PMO.

I agree with Sante that PMOs don't fit very well in an Agile culture, unless their role is limited to supporting projects.
