Project Management Offices (PMOs) exist in many organisations and take on many different forms. They create value for their stakeholders through understanding and application of project, programme and portfolio management

IPMA PMO Special Interest Group members are focussed on supporting the growth of professionals working in PMOs through creating opportunities for networking and information sharing. We will be exploring questions and subjects such as:

  • What is the role of a PMO and how is this evolving?
  • How can PMOs create greater value for organisations?
  • Likely next steps in the evolution of PMOs
  • Lessons learned and best practices
