Organising a project management office and Adizes’ code

Abstract

The article describes the process of establishing a project management office (hereinafter referred to as PMO) at an enterprise developing an oil and gas field. The step-by-step plan considers the stages of development of an oil asset. The maturity of project management increases on the way from short-term tasks to longterm goals. The PMO model corresponds to the maturity level of project management. The paper describes the process of its forming at an enterprise developing an oil and gas field. In management science, there is no universal, methodologically unified approach to the organization of the PMO. The experience of a stepby-step plan for the formation of a PMO considers the stages of development of an oil asset. The formation of a PMO becomes part of the development of managerial functions in the organisation’s life cycle. Using the concept of I. Adizes, the decomposition of managerial functions in the short and long term is proposed. The evolution of the PMO considers the dynamics of project implementation and the consistent increase in the level of maturity of project management. The maturity of project management and the PMO model increases and advances as we move from short-term tasks to long-term goals.
