Yes, it is acceptable that the PMO reports to the chief information officer, however there should be also a varied integration at the top management level (or through sponsors) in order to sustain the ongoing project whenever needed. As an example, a direct interaction with the President of the company would benefit the PMO in multiple respects.

This spreadsheet took about 3 weeks for her to complete and was ultimately useless and filled with holes thus wasting ¼ of the project

Three factors define the success of any project; these are time, cost, and quality (Wysocki and RK 2013: 4). This paper identifies three main facets of project management that were inappropriately implemented, namely; Resourcing, Stakeholder Management, and Risk Management and how their improper implementation led to the violation of the three constraints (i.e. time, cost, and quality).

PM within organizations is gaining momentum and an indispensable component of the work flow procedure. Improving organization project management can effectively improve an organization use of resources. Nevertheless, if an an organization does not possess a clean target and does not follow project phases no one willing enters into the transformational journey. The issue is the bottom line in PM, whether it is to better the organization financially, ethically, or for standardization of procedures.

It is no doubt that the ultimate problem rising in the case is miscommunication. Communication is utmost vital for both parties – purchasers and suppliers- to interact effectively, hence, to conduct business smoothly.

Also, because in the concept of high power distance, decision making process is limited one-way participation and communication (In the Eye of the Beholder, cross cultural lessons in leadership from project GLOBE, Mansour Javidan, Peter W.

Moreover, it establishes or enhances project management skills, process, and governance structures within an organization (Applegate Pg. 462). The director of Application Development, Richard Steinberg, described AtekPC’s PMO’s purpose as a “methodology” for managing projects with standardized practices. As stated within the case, the main purpose of the PMO is to provide standardization in managing projects of large, complex scales as well as gain improvements in planning and performance of initiatives (Applegate Pg. 465).
