International PMO Day

Why PMOs matter? 

You’re not only keeping projects on track, you’re driving strategic impact. Organizations with strong PMOs are 38% more likely to meet project goals and 33% more likely to stay within budget. 

You bring the structure that turns vision into execution, aligning initiatives with business strategy and enabling your company to pivot when the market shifts. 

That's why today, we celebrate you.

How did International PMO Day start?

The idea was formed at the PMO Conference in London in 2022 where the founders of the Day were all together, thinking about what we could do together. We’re all from different parts of world – UK, Brazil, United States and Spain – and thought it would be great to kick off something where anyone working in PMO could get involved.
