Listen "Is the project management division different from a project management office?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of the 4PM Podcast, host Mounir Ajam tackles a common yet often misunderstood question: What’s the difference between a Project Management Office (PMO) and a Project Management Division (PMD)?While PMOs vary widely in scope—from departmental support units to enterprise-level oversight—most fall short of treating project management as a strategic, enterprise-wide function. A PMD, on the other hand, represents a paradigm shift: it is institutionalized at the board level, permanent, and central to governance.Mounir breaks down the different types of PMOs, offers a practical exercise to help you spot gaps in your own organization, and highlights why a PMD isn’t just an “upgraded PMO” but a redefined approach to project management. If you’re curious about the future of project governance, this episode will give you the clarity you need.Explore more project management insights at www.urukpm.comConnect with Uruk Project Management:Uruk PM | BlogUruk Project Management | LinkedInUruk PM | TwitterUruk PM | FacebookUruk PM | InstagramUruk PM | Youtube#UrukPM #ProjectManagement #Podcast
