PMO Principles and PMO Services Principles: How to Build a Principle-based PMO

This second edition is part of a book series from AIPMO that is built on a consistent set of frameworks and concepts. Since the first edition of this book in 2017, PMO services have been formalized and comprehensively described, which has helped to add another piece of the PMO puzzle on how to design, build, and operate one or more PMOs.
The second edition includes the original PMO principles and now provides context on how principles are linked to codes of behavior, culture, values, and bias. PMO services principles and PMO service domain principles have been added. The PMO services principles are described for each of the phases in the PMO services lifecycle framework. The PMO service domain principles are aligned to the PMO service domains described in AIPMO’s PMO Services and Capabilities book, published in May 2022. A method on how to select and apply any principle types (PMO principles, PMO domain principles, and PMO services principles) has been tested on the biggest megaproject in the world and included in this book.
