Getting Started with a Project Management Office (PMO)
A White Paper by George Hunte,
CA CLARITY™ PPM

Abstract
Today, IT organizations spend a large amount of their time delivering projects. While
success rates have improved to approximately 34 percent, 15 percent of all projects still
fail and 51 percent are somehow “challenged,” according to research from the Standish
Group. There are many reasons why IT projects fail — many of which can be attributed
to a lack of visibility into long-term project needs. Without proper visibility, organizations
are unable to see what is needed six months, three months, or even two months down
the road, resulting in poorly constructed project plans that do not capture critical
dependencies, including assigning project resources and key milestones.
This paper, the first in a four-part series from CA, contains practical insights and best
practices for better IT project delivery. This paper discusses ways of moving from an
ad-hoc approach to a more effective process by implementing a project management
office (PMO). The focus is on determining the state of your company’s existing IT efforts,
confirm the overall business goals and create a roadmap that brings together the
necessary people, processes and technologies to achieve them. Then will you be able to
establish a PMO that ensures efficient and cost-effective project execution and delivery.
