A Project Management Office is a department or group that oversees all project management within an organisation. The PMO can be an internal or external group that assumes the responsibility of setting and maintaining organisations’ project management standards. These standards are used to ensure that all projects within an organisation are run in a standardised and repeatable way, this facilitates the smooth running of projects. Amongst the methods used to achieve “standardisation” are:  Support – A PMO can provide training, mentoring and quality assurance to support ongoing projects. Accountability and Governance – The PMO will ensure that a project’s decision-makers are the right people for the job. It also runs regular audits and reviews to ensure accountability. Consistency – A PMO acts as a central hub that ensures a consistent project management approach is used throughout an organisation.
