PMO(Project Management Office) has been considered as a general approach for the successful operation of IT project. The previous studies tended to emphasize on the roles and functions of PMO in a normative way. However, in practice, since PMO is operated as a joint structure in which client firms and professional PMOs work together, it seems to be important that the implementation system of PMO should be properly formed. In this paper, it is examined whether the competence of client firms and professional PMO influence on the setup of implementation system of PMO, and also whether implementation system of PMO influence of the performance of IT project. In addition, it is also analyzed if the competence of client firms and professional PMO influence differently on the setup of implementation system of PMO, according to the degree of knowledge complementarity. As a result of this study, it is found that the competence of client firms and professional PMO influence positively on the setup of implementation system of PMO, and governance factors such as clear definition of organizational roles, responsibility, and setup of standardized processes are also important in performance of IT project. It is also shown that, if knowledge complementarity is formed with a common knowledge base between client firms and professional PMOs, Project Management Office functions effectively. In summary, for the successful performance of IT project, it seems that it is required to approach from the view point of governance in forming the implementation system of PMO and it is also important to form knowledge complementarity between client firms and professional PMOs.

The objective of this study is to examine the relationship of organizational justice, project performance and internal and external PMO (Project Management Office) capability by conducting survey of IT project participants worked with PMO. This study was the first case which classifies PMO capability into internal and external by ownership of PMO. PLS-SEM analysis, which used for this study shows internal PMO capability connects with distributive justice and procedural justice, and directly related to project performance. By comparison, external PMO capability has relationship only with procedural justice, but never related to project performance. Furthermore, distributive justice and procedural Justice all have correlation with project performance. In general, capability of external professional consulting firms is utilized for the fairness and objectivity in spite of sufficient internal project management capability. However, the internal PMO capability has greater influence on procedural justice than external's (internal PMO capability > external PMO capability). Also, distributive justice and project performance have direct correlation only with the internal PMO capability. This paper will be an indicator of finding human capabilities which are necessary for internal and external PMO performance, and has great significance of laying a groundwork of project management strategy by PMO.

Nowadays, the IS project is getting more and more complicated and large-scaled. Many researchers and practitioners are interested in the IS development methodologies, automated tools and techniques to decrease project failure and to increase IS project performance. This research is to seize the management level of PMO affecting on the IS project, as a new method to increase the IS project development performance. As a result of surveying the present PMO operation state with banks which are the leading industry to accept the PMO in Korea, technology support management and infrastructure management are the core functions to affect the IS performance including schedule management, quality management, and user and stakeholders' satisfaction. Also, the PMO management level is the important point of IS project success. Among the 5 levels PMI suggested, PMO can implement the project effectively at least at the third level. Korean companies introducing the PMO have to do research the PMO core functions and the management levels according to the project scale, and review the distinctive features of their organization to increase the maturity of IS project. This research has been proved through the Full Structural Equation Model. The results show that the five core functions of PMO have relationship with the IS project performance.

According to Electronic Times(2012. 1. 3), "PMO was introduced from 1950s in the USA and as of 2010, PMO participated in 84% of project ordered by public and private sector." And Ministry of public administration and security announced that the Ministry will organize Task Force for arranging "standard for introduction and operation of PMO" for support of project implementation and strengthening specialty of ordering organization, and then, actively launch the Task Force from February, 2012. Thus, necessity of PMO is regarded as natural in some aspect but thesis for doctoral degree written by Kim Gi-yeong(2007) suggested, "performance of several projects begun at the same time cannot be interpreted as high according to whether PMO team exists or not." Martin et al.(2005) asserted, "according to whether PMO team exists or not, but there is no significant difference in other factor." In the contradictory situation, it is necessary to perform more various approaches for performance and necessity of PMO in the academic aspect.

PMO(Project Management Office)는 프로젝트 수행을 일관성 있게 관리하는 조직으로 프로젝트의 효율성 극대화를 위하여 프로젝트의 성공적 수행을 도모한다. 이미 해외에서는 PMO 도입으로 인한 프로젝트 성과 향상에 관한 연구가 보고되었으며, PMO운영을 통해 프로젝트가 성공적으로 관리되고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 최근 정부에서는 공공기관 PMO제도 의무화를 발표하였고, 국내 IT 기업들은 PMO도입을 고려하는 등 PMO제도 정착에 노력하고 있다. 그러나 PMO 초기화 단계로 어떤 기능이 필수적으로 수행되어야 하며, 조직에서 PMO가 어떤 가치를 줄수 있는지는 정의되지 않았다. 본 논문은 전문가 집단 인터뷰를 바탕으로 국내 PMO에 대한 인식과 더불어 PMO 조직이 국내 소프트웨어 산업에서 프로젝트의 범위, 일정, 통합 관리 부분의 영향에 대하여 연구하였다.

최근 정보시스템 개발 프로젝트의 복잡성과 규모의 증대로 인해 프로젝트를 체계적이고 전문적으로 관리할 수 있도록 PMO의 도입이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 PMO의 도입은 늘어가는데, 프로젝트 특정에 따른 PMO가 제공해야 할 서비스에 대한 체계적인 연구나 방향 제시가 부족한 실정이다. 또한 PMO 기능 또는 PMO서비스 수준이 프로젝트 성과나 사용자 만족도에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구도 부족하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 프로젝트 특성에 따른 PMO 서비스 수준이 프로젝트 성과에 미치는 영향을 연구하고자 한다.

본 연구의 목적은 PMO의 기능들이 프로젝트 성과에 미치는 직접 효과와 프로젝트 관리 프로세스의 수행을 통한 간접 효과를 PLS 경로모형을 통해 파악하는데 있다. 또한, PMO 역량 및 최고 경영진의 지원에 따른 프로젝트 성과의 차이의 상호 효과 및 그 효과의 크기를 찾고자 한다. 본 연구에서는 방법론 제공, 행정적 지원, 교육 및 훈련, 자원 관리, 지식 관리를 통하여 형성되는 PMO기능과 통합, 범위, 시간, 비용, 품질, HR, 커뮤니케이션, 위험, 자원조달 등을 통하여 형성되는 프로젝트 관리과정을 측정하기 위하여 2차 요인 모형(second-order construct model)으로 연구 모형을 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 각 1차 요인(first-order construct)은 반영지표를 이용하여 분석 하였으며, 2차 요인은 조형지표를 이용하여 분석하였기에, 반영지표와 조형지표가 모두 포함되어있는 모형 분석에 용이한 자료처리 도구인 PLS를 이용하였다. 본 연구의 설문대상은 PMO의 지원 하에서 프로젝트를 수행해 본 경험이 있는 프로젝트관리자나 프로젝트 리더와 같은 전문가 집단으로 한정하여 온라인 설문조사를 실시하였다. 분석 결과, PMO 기능 및 프로젝트 관리과정 모두 프로젝트 성과에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 PMO기능을 수행할 때, PMO역량에 따라 프로젝트 성과에 유의한 차이가 존재함이 확인되었다. 따라서 경영진들은 프로젝트 수행 시 프로젝트 성과에 긍정적 영향을 미치는 PMO의 설립을 적극적으로 검토해야 한다. 또한 PMO의 역량에 따라 프로젝트 성과에 차이가 발생하므로 프로젝트를 관리하는 PMO에 충분한 권한을 부여하고 경영진의 지원을 신속하게 함으로써 프로젝트를 성공적으로 수행할 수 있을 것이다.

It is well known that PMO (Project Management Office)s are effective for successful project performance. Since it takes a long time to develop PMO capability, many public organizations and companies that do not have internal PMOs are increasingly relying on outsourcing of PMO functions in order to introduce mature PMO capabilities in a short period of time. However, it is not verified yet whether outsourced PMO is more effective than internal PMO or not. The objective of this study is to verify the effectiveness of PMO outsourcing. There are many different definitions about PMO function, and even the same PMO function may have different effectiveness depending on the Industry. Thus, this study redefined the PMO functions and Project Performance based on the past studies, and conducted research by focusing on the ICT (Information and Communication Technology) industry. The ICT industry is an important industry economically and has been attracting global attention recently. This study is the first attempt to prove the effectiveness of outsourcing of PMO function in Korea. We found that PMO function outsourcing is effective for certain aspects of project performance, particularly technical support and infrastructure management. Overall, PMO outsourcing is usually more effective than internal PMO for improving project performance. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of PMO theories and practices.

Precedent studies revealed that success of IT project strongly depends on the competency of PMO(project management offices), however, there are only few studies which show the importance of PMO competency. In this study, we will suggest an evaluation model of IT PMO competency using the Pentagon Model which is a tool to assess the performance of project organization, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. We classified effect factor of PMO competency into 25 items in 5 fields such as Structure, Technology, Culture, Interaction, Social Relations and Networks based on pentagon model, also analysis of criticality between the effect factors was conducted by AHP. The study result shows 3 factors of Structure were included in the top 10, while 2 factors of Technology, Culture, Interaction were included separately. In terms of Social Relations and Networks, only 1 factor was included in the top 10. Therefore Structure of PMO should be aggressively considered for the successful IT project.
