Mayoe -

Really depends on the PMO mandate, reporting relationship and model.

A Center of Excellence-type PMO might help by providing a library of tested practices for teams to consult as well as seasoned delivery practitioners who can act as advisors to teams managing higher complexity projects.

I was on charge to create PMOs from the very begining from long, long time ago. So, first thing, is to say I agree with Kiron Bondale comments above. Mainly about to create CoEs which are a great solution for organizations which are tying to use agile based practices. But generally speaking, is all about metrics. The point is metrics will depends on selected approach, selected life cycle, selected method and mainly on type of solution to create.

Mayoe, as Kiron mentioned, it depends on the purpose of the PMO. PMOs can add significant value in many ways like standardization, governance, resource management, performance monitoring and control, training and support and much more!

1) Identify key stakeholders
2) Ask stakeholders to list out the top 5 success criteria for defining the Project Success
3) Ask stakeholders to list out the top 5 success factors for driving the Project Success, and their possible contribution % in each factor
4) Analyze the contribution % of stakeholders for each success factor
5) Check stakeholders accountability, competency, process, performance, improvements to understand its adherence to contribution %.

Through this exercise, stakeholders will find out how they would like to or/and be expected to drive the project success.
