This document discusses strategies for implementing an effective Project Management Office (PMO). It recommends establishing a PMO through a formal program or project. Key steps include: 1) agreeing on the services the PMO will provide, 2) obtaining a complete view of all ongoing initiatives, 3) creating a portfolio delivery plan and tracking progress, 4) identifying dependencies between initiatives, 5) establishing clear governance structures, and 6) defining standard investment criteria. The overall goal is to implement a PMO that supports the organization in achieving strategic objectives through effective management of its portfolio of initiatives and projects.
