Our study of nearly 150 organisations iv , of which 70% had PMOs*, showed that, overall, those organisations with PMOs did not have higher project success rates, but somewhat counter- intuitively, they had lower levels of management satisfaction with the level of project performance and value delivered. This may be due to how long the PMO has been in place – it may be new and set up because of dissatisfaction with current project performance, or it may be that the management of organisations with PMOs get more information about poor project performance leading to decreased satisfaction. Other surveys also show that.
