What organizations need today is a world-class PMO that transforms the project managers and PMO staff into a high performance coherent team that delivers on-budget and on-time; at a pace desired by business; and aligns itself to the organizational priorities by strategic partnership with business at all levels.

The paper tries to focus transformational strategies and implementation framework necessary to develop and implement the world class PMO.
