{"product_id":"9781935589310","title":"Identifying the Forces Driving Frequent Change in PMOs","description":"\u003cp\u003eProject Management Offices (PMOs) are not etched in stone. Several formal surveys show that the average life-span of a PMO is about two years, and even during those two years, they continually evolve. PMOs are not stable structures but rather temporary arrangements with a somewhat short life expectancy. So, what does that mean to you?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdentifying the Forces Driving Frequent Change in PMOs answers this question for both researchers and practitioners. Seventeen case studies and 184 responses to a questionnaire provide the foundation for this three-year research effort focused on the organizational change process surrounding the transformation of a PMO. Results show the temporary nature of PMOs and reveal that significant changes in PMOs can be associated with an organization's internal and external environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy do PMOs change? What are the drivers?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow does the change happen? Is there a dynamic change process?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat is changing?
