The Program Management Office: Establishing, Managing And Growing the Value of a PMO Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book because my company is considering implementing a PMO within our IT organization.Not knowing much about how to go about starting a PMO, I was looking for something that would give me some ideas on how to structure a PMO and how to plan and implement our PMO in a way that had some reasonable likelihood of success.For me, this book was a great resource.

Specifically, I liked the focus on performing a needs assessment before chartering a PMO, the fact that book helped me figure out how to "sell" the PMO concept to IT management in my organization, and the breakout of potential roles for the PMO within an organization and examples of how the PMO can be used to address project and process problems.I learned a lot about what a PMO can achieve and how to position the PMO for success.For anyone who is working to develop a PMO in their organization, I think this book is a great resource.There is some "theory" but plenty of practical guidance that you can actually use.I even e-mailed the author with a question about something in the book and he wrote back a three paragraph response!
