ABSTRACT

The project management office (PMO) should take a lead role in developing and influencing project recovery actions within the project management environment. Similar to project management methodology development, the PMO can conceive and implement a project recovery solution that best fits the needs of the relevant organization. Project recovery implementation can be relatively simple once the more difficult and more complex development of capability to respond has been established. To that end, the approach and description of this PMO function is not extensive; it provides essential activities for PMO consideration and implementation. However, the impact of developing an effective project recovery capability will have significant positive business impact.
