Do You Need a PMO?

Companies are increasingly employing project management offices (PMOs) in the search for greater efficiency and more effective project management.

So, how do you know if your business is ready for a PMO?

The following tell-tale signs indicate that your organisation needs the assistance of a project management office:

• Your projects lack transparency
• Significant discrepancies appear in project results
• A high percentage of your projects are delayed or cancelled
• You struggle to predict project costs accurately
• No one seems to “own” projects at your organisation
• There’s not a clear business case for some of your projects
• Your company has a feeling of “every product team for itself”
• Customers don’t know what to expect
• Stakeholders are frustrated by a lack of information.

If you recognise any of these signs, it’s time to look into a PMO for your organisation.
