The project management offices have many characteristics that determine its strategic role within each unit of the organization depending on its area of expertise and the reached level of maturity. Its main contribution is the maximization of the project results to the general welfare and success of the corporation ensuring their goals.
But if the companies plan and execute the projects very badly, this clearly will result in waste of money, time, materials and people. So the next question would be: What is the contribution that the best management practices can bring?
The Price Waterhouse Coopers conducted a study widely recognized and very revealing called "Boosting Business Performance through Program and Project Management". This study concluded that 90% of the successful projects have a project manager trained on the best practices in the project management and 46% of the successful projects have created a methodology considering the specific characteristics of the organization.
