Project management sophistication is the state of enterprise practices in which success of projects is predictable and that the definitive measure of project management success continually improves with time. Sophistication in project management will lead to efficiency in operations and better profits. Enlightened enterprises are sensitive to project management sophistication and the definitive way of measuring it and improving it. As full assessment of the organizational project management sophistication is relatively time consuming and costly, enterprises have a need and desire for instruments that would provide an estimate of the project management maturity of the organization with less effort. This book includes such instruments and attributes of a successful enterprise. Attributes of Project-Friendly Enterprises creates a structured approach and presents attributes of a healthy project environment that include key indicators of success for projects, proposals, portfolios, project teams, Project Management Office (PMO), and the enterprise.

If an organization has reached a high level of project management maturity, the organization should regard that as a reason for extreme pride among competitors. This book describes the attributes, procedures, and policies that reflect sophisticated organizations.

Demonstrates how Project Management Office (PMO) can reduce the costs of projects, decrease time-to-market for new products, increase corporate profits and ensure project success. This work discusses the motivations for adopting a PMO, including project performance, project manager competency and the organizational desire to excel.
