There is no secret, PMO is now a need, a must-to-have for those companies who want to formalize their projects and optimize the effort related to administrative-financial tasks within them. However there are some tips that you should take care before assign the PMO accountable for all the projects.

1. If you are thinking on create or implement a PMO, is because you already have ongoing projects, so please, do not start pushing your actual running projects into the new PMO.
2. If you need a PMO is because you need to optimize repeatable tasks such, accounting, procurement, and postmortem analysis -could be a lot more
3. Do not use the same resources you have on your ongoing projects. A PMO will consume more time than a couple hours per day, so do it right from the beginning and assign dedicated resources to be accountable for the results.
4. Research before doing changes. PMO should validate what you are doing right or wrong, what can be improved and what not. Otherwise your will be implementing a Theory/Nice PMO instead of a real one.
5. Be patient, do not push for results, you should have a plan. Your first PMOized project should be the PMO implementation -it will be the best way you can measure the progress and also validate the impact over your company’s processes.
