This paper provides a step-by-step process for starting up an enterprise-wide PMO using proven techniques to ensure that the new organization receives executive management support and aligns with the larger enterprise’s business strategies and objectives. This paper discusses different types of PMOs that are appropriate, depending upon an organization’s structure and business objectives. This paper further provides the reader with an understanding of how to deal with start-up and implementation challenges that are common in multi-business unit organizations; how to launch PMO programs and services and gain stakeholder acceptance; how to monitor, measure, and report PMO implementation progress and effectivenss; and how to apply accepted management assurance and oversight methodologies to verify and validate the effectiveness of developed processes and programs and continuously improve both the processes and implementation.
