Question Topic: Formation of PMO(project management office)

Dear Friends,

Following questions confused me alot

Question: An organization wants to start a PMO, so how should project manager initiate it,
Choices:
a- Initiate PMO as seperate project
b- Simply form a PMO unit
c- Form PMO itself and co ordinate different project by providing guidelines, standards, shared resources
d- Hire a consultant who can define the PMO model

Your early reply to this question will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Regards,

I think the answer is a.

 Since every organization has different concept about PMO> One cannot just start a PMO unit . Once you initiate this as a project, then consultant may be hired to provide insight

 

As for Initiating PMO, separate project charter is not issued.

I would also go with “C“. I would also want to know the right answer probabibly with the reasons too.
