Yes, there are advantages to outsourcing PMo in Public Sector - here's why, from my personal experience managing PMOs:

1. Lack of experienced project managers: Whereby a public sector organisation does not have in-house project managers, and want a project completed to schedule without cost overruns, the best thing is to outsource its PMO - it can be less cost than any likely cost overrun down the line.

2. When the focus is on delivery and quality control: For the same reason why it's best to have external auditors even when you have a team of accountants and auditors, a public service organization is likely to get the best quality, independedent project managent experience from outsourced PMOs. It can be hard for in-house PMs to enforce quality, timelines etc on the implementing team.

I think the idea of ​​using (PMO) project management organization from outside the organization in the public sector is useful when you need something.

Yes, it is good idea because the new trend now is to have the service no to have the system or solution.

it will give good performance because all the points to manage will related to the outsourcing which has:

1- High experience (Know How).

2- Suffiecient number of professionals.

3- All the required tools.

Conceptualyy, it is a good idea if the required skills are not available from within and if the project goals are well idetified and clear perormance measures are agreed, but dealing with public sector is pretty delicate because the public sector staff tend to micromanage the process. Any participation will be realized as success if you understand the needs of the staff you are working with and satisfy those needs.

Yes, it is actually good to bring in experienced people in project and portfolio management to get into the government structure, and provide the needed support and coaching to project managers, the only issue I see is the authority, where an outside PMO office will have limited direct authority on the people, and cannot enforce things, which is why the PMO needs to be linked directly to senior management (preferably CEO, or the Miniser in case of government) in order to get things done, and be able to really provide project managers enough power to overcome resistance.

What kind of authority would the outsourcing PMO have, formal/informal? To whom would the public workers respond to?

 

The service might get even more delayed and more expensive, since the newcoming PMO will try to make swift changes, but the momentum of the public sector is much more higher.
