Project Management Rigor -- or Rigor Mortis

by Stephen J. Andriole

We've all had a chance to think about project management discipline and how project management offices (PMOs) are doing. For about a decade now, many companies have implemented formal PMOs to help them deal with project inefficiencies usually defined as "late and overbudget." But where are we now in this area? Have PMOs been successful, or have they just added another bureaucratic layer to our projects? Has project management discipline taken hold, or is it more about paying lip service to what lots of people think makes sense?
