How to Get Started With a Project Management Office

Today, 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 projects fail, often due to a lack of visibility into long-term project needs.
