Abstract This paper discusses the external affairs of Project Management Offices instead of focusing on the internals. Sai baba movie in tamil. The article was initiated by the 'AtekPC Project Management Office' [1], Most of the obstacles to establishing a PMO are beyond the CIO and PMO Manager's control. There are external factors within the enterprise that will hinder progress of a PMO implementation.

We are going to take a PMO as a black box, and focus on how the PMO/Program Manager can manage external relations from diplomatic, marketing, public relations, international relations, corporate culture and political perspectives. This involves cooperation between the PMO and other entities in or outside the enterprise, to facilitate a successfully organizational integration. Introduction By reading the case studies in the 'AtekPC Project Management Office' [1], we see a lot of headaches for the CIO when implementation a PMO in the enterprise. Regardless of the technical challenges during the implementation, the core of the problems seems to be that the PMO is lacking organization support, from the top to the bottom.

AtekPC Project Management Office Presents one company's efforts to apply a project management software organization, or PMO, and also the challenges they faced by doing this. Issues presented within the situation include determining the PMO's purpose and mission, the dwelling and governance from the PMO, and just how to effectively carry it out with what seems to become a resistant culture. AtekPC found it difficult to keep up with the rapidly changing nature of the PC industry, and due to its earlier successes, it didn’t focus much on cutting costs or addressing competitive rivalry. In response to their struggles, AtekPC opted to implement a Strategic Planning Office, and Project Management Office (PMO).

There is not enough executive stakeholder support; there is no visibility of the program; there is a conflict of interests within departments; people are reluctant to change the ways they have been doing things. This paper is going to provide some high level suggestions to improve external relations for the PMO. Problems Identification After an in depth study in [1], we can abstract out a few root causes of PMO implementation hindrance.

The PMO vision and role is not clearly defined. There is no complete consensus regarding its purpose, its responsibilities, and its authority. It has slowly evolved. Not enough executive stakeholder support. Not all of the senior executives were equally enthused about the PMO concept. Authority was primarily being developed bottom-up through the value of the PMO services. Even this was limited to those functional areas and IT areas actively engaging the PMO.

There was no current plan to enforce usage at the enterprise level. Corporate culture limitation. Corporate cultural change had been informal. They never treated PM, PMO, formal processes seriously. Normal Operation Processes and function units have to change their culture, behaviour, and even habits if they work with a PMO. No support from department management. Department managers may see no value in introducing a PMO in their projects.
