What is involved when the PMO provides oversight to a project?
The level of oversight the PMO provides to a particular project will vary depending upon the project and circumstances. Oversight may include PMO staff sitting on project teams, the review of project documentation, meeting with both technical and business staff or scheduling meetings with key team contributors to review and resolve specific issues at hand. Regardless of the level of oversight, the PMO will submit written findings to the senior management within an agency and/or department as needed throughout the period of oversight.
