Corporate Project Management

In corporate PMs you certainly don't have a single point of accountability, and you certainly don't have a uniform way of informing and satisfying stakeholders. So much for project management theory.

Largely Invisible

My argument is that the project environment is made up of all those organisational elements that contribute to the planning and execution of projects - not just those mentioned above. In some organisations, usually smaller ones, the obvious (visible) portion of the project environment could be a group of part-time project managers and nothing else. So why is the rest of the project environment invisible?

Iceberg PMO

Tough as it may be to contemplate, the truth is that if a PMO didn’t exist, the organisation would still govern its investments, however inefficiently. It is also sadly true that defining a PMO's boundaries is pure office politics.

Introduction and Motivation

I see this as a process of understanding PMO in order to optimise a given implementation that you are actually involved in.
