Hi Douglas

What is a PMO?

Best regards

Dear Douglas,

I would recommend that you contact:

www.allpmo.com

and get the material and if you are interested, you can get certified as well.

PMO: Project Management Office

Basically, you need to have all the documentation and resources to support your projects and make the deliverables on time.

With kind regards,

For PMO set up we need apply or mapping of project management process into the system. For that you need write each process / procedure/ forms to follow the project managemant process. You need write each procedures /responsibily/ what to perform/ who to perform, etc.
For Example Project Control
Time Planning
Procedures to prepare / analyse the programme
Responsiblity / Duty of Project Control manager, Planning manager, Planning Engieer, Cost Controler, etc

Dear Bard,

The PMI has a standard for Program Management. The latest edition was published in 2009. It can be in any industry.

Usually a PMO means "Project Management Office", but can also mean "Program Management Office".

I’ve published so many articles on the creation of a PMO, this one that is quite concise and technical: Steps for Starting a PMO.

If you want something more comprehensive and detailed, please check this series on Building Your PMO (ignore the first entry titled Project Management Series).

I hope this post was helpful to whoever is considering initiating a PMO in his or her organization.
