A conceptual model for the role of a project management office (PMO) in improving the usability of knowledge that is transferred between projects is proposed, and a method to investigate the role of PMOs in knowledge transfer is validated.

But in the world of project portfolio management (PPfM), the goal is doing the right projects at the right time, and with this, aligning projects with strategy, rationing resources, and building synergies between projects.
