PMO Part 1 – What do you know?

July 14, 2021 Jeff Okeson Season 2 Episode 5

Acronyms are pervasive in the consulting and engineering world. And PMO is no exception. 

PMOs can be referred to as Project, Program and sometimes Portfolio Management Offices. Over the course of this series, we’ll be talking mostly about “Project” Management Offices, but the theories and techniques we discuss can certainly be applied across Programs and Portfolios.

In this episode, you’ll find out exactly what it means and why you need it. Transportation, healthcare, energy, infrastructure—all can benefit by having a good PMO in place. 

At its heart, a PMO is all about making projects more efficient. 

Bottom line: it affects your bottom line (in a good way).
