The importance of EPMOs within organizations
Working on projects in a large enterprise can get really complicated. You may quickly get caught in a tangled web of different project practices and tools — and totally lose control over your projects and resources.
But, that’s exactly where an EPMO comes into play.
We reached out to Alan Zucker, an experienced PMP professional and project management consultant, to learn what EPMO actually does:
“The enterprise PMO typically provides guidance and oversight to all of the project organizations within the enterprise. The EPMO may establish standards, guidelines, templates, etc. It may ’own’ the enterprise project management tools. They often provide executive reporting.”
