Many organizations utilize a Project Management Office (PMO) to introduce and sustain project management methodology and skills. These enable an organization to deliver their projects on time, within budget and to an agreed upon level of quality. PMOs can help:

• Improve the rate of project success
• Standardize and maintain a project management methodology and software tools
• Monitor project progress
• Execute project portfolio management processes
• Measure the value of the projects and project management

Many organizations recognize the value of a PMO but have difficulty staffing this critical organization. This could be because:

• They do not have the right skills
• They do not need a full-time PMO
• They do not consider it a core competency
