Help PM's by advising and supporting them with lesson learning, increasing resource and high level plan in the orgnization.
It is well description of the scope so all the requirements of the customer are flfilled, all these will be done by the qualified PMs in the PMO and by collection of the lessons learnt from previous projects implemented by the organization and from the lessons learnt from others working in the same field.
Support project managers in project planning and schedule
The role of the PMO Support is to proactively support Project Managers and their teams to ensure effective planning, control, and reporting of projects.
If I understand your question correctly, I see that this depends on the employed PMO model or type in the organization.
In the Supportive PMO model, the office provides templates, methodologies, tooling and best practices for project and program managers and that includes planning.
In the Controlling PMO model, the office enforces methodologies, tools, and techniques used for managing projects and again the includes planning.
In the Directive PMO mode, the office is accountable for project management within the organization which includes planning.
Although higher level planning is not within the PMO scope, I expect them to share thier views as a center of exceleence within the organization.
give the advise to the PM and support him/her with lesson learning from previous projects.
Agree with Mr. Fazal Ebrahim, but in addition to resource sharing
