A programme management office (PMO) supports the project team and leadership team alike. It does this by providing oversight for changes, underpinned by effective controls and quality standards. PMO teams facilitate better decision making and business direction-to-delivery alignment by assuring scope, costs, risks, and benefits are all assessed.

When used correctly, PMOs can be an invaluable intelligence and advisory centre which gives you the best chance to manage projects and realise strategic goals. An effective PMO is the difference between a good business and a great one.
