Abstract

Managing projects can be a challenging task due to the number of activities it has and managing a group of projects can also be a harder task, and here comes the projects or program management office role. The importance of having a PMO in any organization relies on the benefits it provides to organizations such as visibility, alignment, maximizing project benefits, and enhancing control over projects through governance (Misner, 2008). The goal of conducting this research is to understand the PMO role in the government entities and highlight the challenges occurring in organizations and provide suggestions to enhance its benefits. This paper will discuss PMO definition, its advantages, its roles and types, PMO in government organizations, its challenges, and steps to strengthen its role and illustrate data gathered from interviews which will be analyzed based on literature review.
