Project Management Office Guide

The project management office (PMO) is an effective project management solution created to establish a more centralized management structure for large groups of projects. The PMO provides organizations with an infrastructure of people, procedures and tools to achieve effective project management by leveraging project management standards, allocating resources, establishing consistent performance measures and reducing duplication of efforts.
