Putting It All Together

Establishing a PSO can take 6 to 24 months. This chapter discussed the basic definition of the PSO from which you should have decided exactly what type of PSO makes sense for your organization. You should be thinking about implementing your PSO in the short term but with a view to evolving it to the long-term. Chapter 11, Growing and Maturing your Project Support Office, focuses on the short-term and Chapter 12, The Future of the Project Support Office, focuses on the long-term.
