There are several very good reasons for starting corporate implementation of an SPMO. Foremost among these reasons is effective cost management. Using a proven framework of well-defined, industry-proven processes enables a business leader to leverage knowledge gained from other business leaders who have been in similar situations. The processes and procedures used in software program management are, by design, risk mitigators and cost savers. They are viewed as best practices that have been implemented and refined over time and tested in many organizations. Standardization of such processes will allow a project team to plan and execute a project in a manner that avoids any major surprises to upper management in an organizational status review meeting. Processes that are designed with such builtin procedures as audit and status reporting will also allow cross-functional teams to communicate issues more effectively.
