The Role of a Project Management Office (PMO) In Ensuring Human Resource (HR) Sustainable Operations

Abstract

The importance of having a coordination cell, such as a Project Management Office (PMO), within a project organization, cannot be overstated, especially as projects become more complex and involve multiple stakeholders. One crucial aspect of a PMO is its ability to incorporate the principles of sustainability within its process framework. By considering sustainability, the PMO ensures that project requirements are met in a way that minimizes the need for rework and promotes environmentally and socially responsible practices. This alignment with sustainability principles contributes to the long-term success and positive impact of projects. A well-established PMO plays a vital role in preventing project failures by addressing challenges. Scope creep refers to uncontrolled changes or additions to the project scope and a failure to meet project objectives. The PMO helps manage scope by establishing clear processes for scope change control and ensuring that changes are properly evaluated, approved, and incorporated into the project plan.
