For years, organisations have struggled to deliver projects on time and within budget. That challenge has led many to turn to Project or Programme Management Offices (PMOs) as a way to boost efficiency, cut costs, and improve on project delivery in terms of time and budget. While not a new solution, the trend toward implementing PMOs to instil much-needed project management discipline is spreading fast. PMOs can help by providing the structure needed to both standardize project management practices and facilitate IT project portfolio management, as well as determine methodologies for repeatable processes. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act—which requires companies to disclose investments, such as large projects, that may affect a company's operating performance—is also a driver, since it forces companies to keep closer watch on project expenses and progress.
