Project Management Office (PMO)
The Project Management Office (PMO) is a central organizational unit that provides standards, methods and tools for project management. It supports the project managers, pools experience and ensures a consistent approach across the company.
Depending on its setup, the role of the PMO ranges from advisory to directive: from providing templates and training through reporting to actively steering the project portfolio. A PMO increases transparency across multiple projects and relieves the individual project managers.
