It is not about best practices. It is about how to add value to business. If not, like any other business unit, it has not sense to exist.

From a 2007 article by Sergio Pellegrinelli (International Journal of Project Management 27 (2009) 649–656)



PMOs evolve or risk being disbanded.



Many writers on Project and Programme Management Offices (PMOs), whose remit covers a range of projects and programmes undertaken, suggest that they are valued by, and are enduring features of organisations. However, these descriptions neither resonate well with the experiences of practising managers nor with the limited empirical research available [1]. This paper proposes a re-conceptualisation of a PMO as an organisational construct, created in response to a perceived need, and as that need is progressively addressed, the relevance and value of the PMO decreases – the dissemination of tools, expertise and insights ultimately leads to its existence being questioned. PMOs evolve or risk being disbanded. Leaders of PMOs can generate new value by redefining the purpose and activities of the PMO.
