ABSTRACT

The project management office’s (PMO’s) role transcends multiple professional disciplines in its effort to integrate project management practices with business performance objectives. Project management provides a variety of tools that can be used for managing business performance. In many ways, project management is business performance management. At the PMO level, project management concepts and practices are applied to integrate technical and business functions within the relevant organization, with executive-level oversight of business interests and strategy implementation. To that end, the PMO’s effort to establish project management capability within the relevant organization effectually represents business performance management.
