Based on the scope of your PMO’s responsibilities, you need to clearly define its role in each project-related process. Those roles, in turn, will help determine the size of your staff, what skills they need, and the organizational structure of the PMO.
This is the second article in a four-part series on establishing a project management office. Previously in this series: “Know Your PMO’s Role.”
A crucial task when setting up a project management office is clarifying its role in the organization’s processes. PMOs have a natural involvement in project approval and project management processes, but the PMO can also be important in project analysis, human and capital resource planning and project administration. Defining how the PMO fits into these activities will help determine its size and organizational structure, as well as the skill sets needed among its staff.
How large should your PMO staff be? What skill sets are required of them? To answer these questions, you need to know what roles the PMO will play in the various processes within your organization, either by “owning” the processes or by partnering with other groups.
