Hybrid Work Increasing the Need for PMOs
Over the past five years, the use of project management offices (PMOs) has increased by 20%. According to our study, Project Management Office Adoption Trends, the number of companies making full use of PMOs for every IT project is among the highest-rated best practices in the study. The shift toward hybrid and remote work has put a significant strain on projects as teams must collaborate in hybrid settings and still finish projects on time and within budget.

Project Management Office Best Practices 2023
To improve project success, companies often establish a formal project management office (PMO) as a center of excellence for project management disciplines. In some organizations, the PMO operates as an advisory group to project managers, who report directly to business units. In other organizations, project managers report directly to the PMO and are assigned to projects as needed. However, in recent years, the use of PMOs has grown significantly, especially for organizations that use them for all projects.
