Presentation Synopsis

PMOs have been taking on a more prominent role in their level of authority, structure, reporting lines and mandate. Project Management Offices (PMOs) have been growing and going through change and transformation and today literature defines PMO types, roles, functions, as well as their impact on performance. The lifecycle journey that PMOs go through requires attention since there is little or lack of knowledge regarding PMO lifecycle (PMOLC) pertaining to set-up, build-out, and sustainability.
Due to the evolution of the PMO and there is a need to cover the lifecycle of PMO which would allow those interested in building PMOs to learn what is required in each phase of the PMOLC, the complexities associated with each phase, and the challenges and rewards. The PMOLC has not been fully explored nor has it been discussed in detail; hence, this research makes valuable contributions to the practicality of the project management field in general, and sheds light on the PMO practices in particular.
Further, the research adds valuable insights to the mechanics governing the establishment of PMOs. Results will lead us to:
  • Determine the PMOLC complexities, shed light on the nature of each phase, and the skills required to build each phase
  • Determine similar and different challenges in each phase in the lifecycle
