Abstract
The purpose of this field project is to explore and build awareness about the main
aspects—types, hierarchies, maturity models, and competency frameworks—related to
establishing a Project Management Office (PMO) in a company. This study, inspired by a
real case, examines a failed attempt to create a PMO in XYZ Company, which operates
in the IT industry providing e-services. Through this analysis, the main elements needed
for a successful PMO are identified and explained along with the steps needed to
implement related theories. Furthermore, potential reasons for the failure of the initial
PMO are investigated and recommendations for better alternatives are suggested. As a
result, the lessons learned from this research can assist with making more informed
decision when creating PMOs in the future.
