Book Description

This book, through the included full-text case studies, provides the reader actual information on how project, program, and portfolio management offices (PMOs) are being structured and operated by current project management organizations. This book explores the actual business actions taken by well-known enterprises that shared, in a business case study format the "what" and the "how" they used to developed and manage their project management organization. Through their included case studies, they provide the reader the actual "how-it-is-being-done" by current project management organizations. Knowing what specific actions have been taken by others and what PMO organizational models they applied, provides the user with information on how to proceed after executive management gives the go-ahead to establish a PMO. This knowledge can be used immediately by enterprises, of any size or type, to implement a Project Business Management Organization and to establish Project Business Management enterprise-wide.

Book Description

The ever expanding market need for information on how to apply project management principles and the PMBOK® contents to day-to-day business situations has been met by our case studies book by Harold Kerzner. That book was a spin-off from and ancillary to his best selling text but has gained a life of its own beyond adopters of that textbook. All indications are that the market is hungry for more cases while our own need to expand the content we control, both in-print and online woudl benefit from such an expansion of project management "case content". The authors propose to produce a book of cases that compliment Kerzner's book. A book that offers cases beyond the general project management areas and into PMI®'s growth areas of program management and organizational project management. The book will be structured to follow the PMBOK in coverage so that it can not only be used to supplement project management courses, but also for self sudy and training courses for the PMP® Exam.

Book Description

Since project management offices began to appear in organizations over the last decade, project management practitioners and their organizations have been asking how to structure project management offices (PMOs) and what functions to assign them. In The Project Management Office (PMO): A Quest For Understanding, authors Brian Hobbs and Monique Aubry address these questions, providing a look at how PMOs exist today, and some clues about how and why they’re changing. Of particular interest to practitioners, the authors address the roles that PMOs play in organizations, which provides valuable insights for better creating, structuring and governing PMOs. When designing a PMO, an organization has a variety of choices regarding the PMO’s structure and role assignment. By providing a way to define PMOs by type, this research explores how to set up and define a PMO, depending upon the specific type of PMO The authors discuss the many bases for the types of PMOs, including structural characteristics and functions, and how these types affect the PMO’s role in the organization.
