Does any one have a sample of a charter and a mandate not a template for implementing a EPMO OR PMO I want to view the level of detail and content required, any help in this area would be very useful to me
It's not a specific sample, but I've recently read a great book on the subject -- Advanced Project Portfolio Management and the Project Office by Kendall and Rollins. There's a chapter in the book -- What is a PMO and What Should a High Value PMO do? -- that contains excellent descriptions of two "themes" for PMOs (cost containment or throughput improvement) and four basic PMO Models listed here...
1. Project Respository Model (a low or no value model)
2. Coach Model (a tactical model that can provide some value for a short time)
3. Enterprise Model (a strategic model oriented to central control of all major projects)
4. "Deliver NOW" Model (a high-value strategic model focused on throughput, delivery acceleration and choosing the right projects)
Obviously the book focuses on putting a "Deliver NOW" model, but it does do a good job of describing what can/should be expected (and not) from the other models as well.
