PM Directions
PMO Services
PM Directions has helped organizations develop PMO's  that create business value.  

How long will it take to develop a PMO? Dr. Brian Hobbs at the University of
Quebec performed a key study on PMO's organization and development. He found
that 63% were created before the end of 1-2 years. PM Directions' experience is
similar to this , however, your organization may only need support in mission
definition, or in standards implementation, or some other key area.
Establishing PMO Functions
“In the adult PMO, issues
are coordinated across
portfolios of projects to
generate better
economies of scale and
better competencies
such as corporate risk
management, vendor
management, outsourcing
and procurement,” -  
Bruce Woerner, PMP, an
IT consultant at Allstate
Insurance Co.,
Northbrook, Illinois, USA.
