Many organizations profit hugely by utilizing a Project Management Office (PMO); it means they achieve benefits from standardizing and following project management policies, processes, and methods. However, building an effective PMO is a complex process; it requires clear vision and strong leadership so that, over time, it will become the source for guidance, documentation, and metrics related to the practices involved in managing and implementing projects. Leading Successful PMOs will guide all project based organizations, and project managers who contribute to and benefit from a PMO, towards maximizing their project success. In it, Peter Taylor outlines the basics of setting up a PMO and clearly explains how to ensure it will do exactly what you need it to do - the right things, in the right way, in the right order, with the right team. Review: Five Stars - Terrific book with lots of practical application Review: Good primer on PMO Leadership - In the process of setting up a PMO, this book gives good but a bit shallow pointers on what to consider.

A crtical piece of your PMO
I was confronted with the task of developing a PMO for my client, and client whose approach to project management was suspect too. This book has been and remains my daily tool for providing humor, insight and applied knowledge to help me lead my team as we continue to develop the PMO structure and methodologies surrounding portfolio management. In a world of serious workbook/manuals - the humor and candor is a welcomed relief.... a sanctuary.

Excellent book on PMOs!
"Leading Successful PMOs" provides great advice on how to start or mature your PMO. As a PMO Manager, the book provided me with lots of useful information on the types of PMOs, adapting a PMO to an organizational culture, how to promote the PMO, etc. A "must read" for anyone involved with a PMO.

Not Helpful, Super Boring
Honestly very unhelpful. Focused on one person’s journey with PMO. Keep looking.

Worth reading if new to PMO / or leading PMO
Good examples, scenarios and case studies if you are a PMO manager or leader. It gives you step- by- step guides which can be relevant to multiple industries. Useful also for those new to PMO or starting their initial role as Project Officer.
