Project Management Office (PMO)

An organizational unit that sets and upholds project governance standards and enables the common use of resources, methods, tools, and practices across projects.

Key Points

  • Defines and maintains project governance, standards, and templates.
  • Facilitates sharing of resources, methodologies, tools, and techniques across teams.
  • Provides guidance, training, and oversight to improve delivery consistency.
  • Can operate as supportive, controlling, or directive, with varying authority levels.

Example

A company with multiple agile teams uses a PMO to publish common sprint and release policies, maintain Jira workflows and dashboards, coordinate a shared pool of project managers and Scrum Masters, and ensure every project follows the same risk and change control processes.

  1. Approving every user story before each sprint planning session.
  2. Establishing organization-wide project governance and providing shared tools and resources.
  3. Determining the detailed technical architecture for each project.
  4. Managing only programs and never individual projects.

Correct Answer: B - Establishing organization-wide governance and shared resources

Explanation: A PMO standardizes project governance and enables common use of resources, methods, and tools; it does not micromanage stories or dictate technical designs.
