Abstract:
Organizations are realizing the need for effective project management in order to be able to achieve their strategic objectives. Good project management discipline is a way to overcome the shortcomings such as project delays, cost overruns and weak standard practices used by project managers. Some reasons which contribute towards project failure can be undocumented project management methods, uncontrolled delivery, unrealistic budget or time expectations, limited planning, or lack of executive commitment.
This report sheds light on the need for a PMO in organizations today. A PMO model has been recommended for the MARIE STOPES SOCIETY after identifying the need for a PMO in the organization. PMO is defined by PMBOK as
"An organizational body or entity assigned various responsibilities related to the centralized and coordinated management of projects under its domain".
