Abstract

This research investigates the impact of the project management office functions on project success in Saudi Arabia. A comprehensive literature review is conducted to study different project management functions and project success measures. The data collected on a validated list of 19 project management office functions and 14 project success measures obtained from the literature. The analyses have two parts, one to compare the project performance of organizations that have PMO to those who do not have, using excel sheets by averaging the responses for each measure. The second part is to study the relationship between PMO functions and project success measures using structural equation modeling SEM in SMARTPLS-S software. Sixteen hypotheses were generated for analyses in SEM and five of these hypotheses were validated while the remaining 11 could not be validated. The results reported that PMO organizational learning functions directly impact project outcomes, while functions of project monitoring and controlling partially impacts customer satisfaction.
