Forrester: Project management offices on the rise, but effectiveness dubious

Forrester: Project management offices on the rise, but effectiveness dubious Nearly one-fifth of all new project implementations are over three months late. Despite PMO use is up from 53% last year. Project management offices need to spend more time tracking individual IT projects and less time generating reports for senior management to be more effective, according to a new Forrester report. An older computerworld article talks about how to Maximize ROI With a Project Office and how PMOs measure up to the bottom line of a company… most important from my point-of-view:

  • Eliminate project redundancies
  • Standardize the delivery process
  • Assess ROI and perform additional project controlling

update: Piz says McConnel introduces that concept in here… but I didnt find it so far…

update2: read more about PMOs in Max’s project management blog
