Building a Project Management Office (PMO) can greatly improve the success of complex projects in higher education and nonprofit sectors. PMOs, like the one at Princeton University, help manage projects efficiently by providing tools, training, and best practices. By strategically allocating resources to PM efforts, institutions can ensure projects are completed on time and within budget. Implementing a PMO within an organization, regardless of its size or complexity, can lead to increased project success. PM tools and techniques are not limited to construction or IT projects and can benefit all areas of an organization.
