PROGRAM MANAGEMENT OFFICE
A Program Office is a collective group of related projects within a specified parameter
operating under a single charter that is defined by standards of procedures related to core
project management guidelines. PMOs leverage economies of scale to manage project
governance, standardize documentation, streamline communications, define and track
metrics, and other key components to drive increased quality and operational efficiencies.
Common types of PMOs are Enterprise Wide, Departmental, and then Special–purpose.
Many organizations claim to be able to apply Program Management techniques, but the true
success factor in executing a Program Office is the methodology, capabilities and
experience of the Program Leadership. Our resources have deep knowledge and
experience in all aspects of Program Management. Estrella Partners provides consultative
services for all aspects of PMOs, including but not all inclusive of Program Resourcing /
