This book, through the included full-text case studies, provides the reader actual information on how project, program, and portfolio management offices (PMOs) are being structured and operated by current project management organizations. This book explores the actual business actions taken by well-known enterprises that shared, in a business case study format the "what" and the "how" they used to developed and manage their project management organization. Through their included case studies, they provide the reader the actual "how-it-is-being-done" by current project management organizations. Knowing what specific actions have been taken by others and what PMO organizational models they applied, provides the user with information on how to proceed after executive management gives the go-ahead to establish a PMO. This knowledge can be used immediately by enterprises, of any size or type, to implement a Project Business Management Organization and to establish Project Business Management enterprise-wide.
