Project Offices and Governance Practices Minimize Project Redundancy

Robbins-Gioia Announces That Project Offices and Governance Practices Minimize Project Redundancy -- Reducing Company Costs:

A study released today found that organizations with established governance practices, processes, and accountability activities in place showed a lower level of redundant projects and initiatives in their organizations. Additionally, those organizations with both a project management infrastructure-such as a project management office (PMO)--and governance and accountability practices were even less likely to have redundant initiatives.

This finding is the result of a survey conducted by Robbins-Gioia, the leading program management consulting firm, with approximately 350 senior-level IT and project professionals at the Project World conference in Washington, D.C., September 27-30, 2004, and the Project Management Institute's annual symposium in Anaheim, California, October 26, 2004.
