Research Faculty Can Now Tap Into Professional Project Management

Less do-it-yourself can mean more science

Pedro Lasch works with project manager Susan Tierney at a laptop

Duke’s research community will now have access to professional project management assistance through the Research Project Management Core , a new service of the Office of Research and Innovation.

For non-clinical research projects, investigators might retain a whole or fractional project manager to coordinate and plan meetings and events, manage websites and social media, or handle project reporting, milestones or deliverables. These professional project managers also can be retained to support personnel management, hiring and training, and even proposal development.

“This is another way for us to make Duke’s research environment as productive and focused as we can for our investigators,” said Jenny Lodge, Vice President for Research and Innovation. “Faculty are called upon to be great at a lot of things, but organizing a conference, managing a major project with multiple participants and hard deadlines, or onboarding a new team members, might not be their core competence, and these activities take their eyes off their focus on the research. I’m very grateful to Rebecca Brouwer and Jamie Wylie for developing this new service for faculty.”

OR&I has so far hired two full-time project managers and will be adding at least two more in July. The project managers can be retained fractionally and either short-term or long-term. Five schools and UICs have approved a voucher system to make retaining an OR&I project manager even easier by having the unit cover the cost.

This new level of service to researchers is part of the Duke 2030 Strategy . A dozen Duke faculty participated in a pilot program and received 5 to 20 hours per week of support. Every one of the faculty who tried it said it would be a great resource for Duke researchers and almost all strongly agreed it had made their research projects better.

“The support I received from this program during the pilot phase was invaluable,” said Pedro Lasch, a research professor of Art, Art History and Visual Studies. “The lab I direct is one of many faculty led initiatives on campus that cannot afford a full-time or half-time support position. Being able to work with skilled staff at this adaptable rate is ideal, which is why I have decided to extend our collaboration beyond the pilot.”

The estimated cost for the service is going to be $350-$500 per month for each 5 percent increment in effort, including current fringe benefit rates. The project manager’s effort may be allocated to sponsored funds, as allowed, or departmental and discretionary funds. Grant managers will have to determine the appropriate Facilities and Administrative (F&A) allocation, if applicable. To learn more, please email [email protected]

What Is a PMO in Project Management: A 2024 Guide

Learn about a PMO, what it does, and how you can work in the industry. Discover the in-demand project management skills needed to get a job in a PMO.

[Featured image] A project manager is in the office talking to their coworker.

A PMO, or project management office, is a specific group within an organization that provides project management support to projects. They ensure that best project management practices and standards are met, and help the company deliver maximum value through its projects. 

As you investigate your PMO career options, stay abreast of how the field of project management evolves. For example, Monday.com's compilation of trends and statistics from organizations like Wellingtone, Project Management Institute, and State of Agile tells us that [ 1 ]:

Nearly eight out of 10 organizations have a PMO, and 50 percent have two or more.

61 percent of organizations provide project management training.

59 percent of project managers lead between two and five projects.

Continue reading to learn about the different PMO roles, education requirements, and required skills to succeed.  

What is a PMO?

PMOs are groups within businesses, government agencies, or other organizations that maintain and define standards for project management. A PMO can be responsible for multiple projects across the organization. 

The PMO has several functions, like ensuring that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the required standard. The main tasks include:

Project planning : documenting steps, scope, and milestones for completing a project

Project process improvement: outlining how a project's processes can be improved in the future

Project resourcing: allocating resources to complete a project, including people, financing, software, and materials

Project monitoring: tracking a project's metrics, progress, and tasks to make sure the project will be completed on time and within budget

Project control:  a set of processes for tracking potential threats, issues, and opportunities for enabling project decision-making

The PMO also provides support to project managers in the form of templates, best practices, and training. In some cases, the PMO may also be responsible for resource allocation and management.

PMO vs. project manager

As a project manager , you’ll handle all the day-to-day management of the project. They work with the project team to ensure that tasks are completed on time and within budget. 

The PMO is responsible for setting and maintaining project standards. As a member of the PMO staff, you’ll help support project teams and project managers while also working with other departments to ensure that projects are coordinated and aligned with organizational objectives. 

A specialized team makes up the project management office that supports project managers in delivering projects. If you work in a PMO, your job will likely include providing centralized coordination and support for specific or all projects of an organization. 

To facilitate the management of the organization's resources and best practices, the PMO provides process expertise, administrative support, and knowledge of management coordination. This may include a variety of roles within the office, including:

Administrative support staff to work on report generation and software support

Process-focused staff to provide support through training, leading projects, assuring quality, and developing methodologies

Knowledge management staff to keep records of methods, standards, and lessons learned in a project database

Resources managers to ensure that resources are suitable for project requirements; manage and balance scarce resources; forecast and assist in resource acquisition plans; and secure key resource assignments

The PMO may also provide oversight and governance so that projects are aligned with organizational strategy and goals and that they are being executed effectively and efficiently. 

4 Types of jobs in a PMO

The PMO team normally works collaboratively, sharing information so that projects stay on track. Consider some of the different roles in the project management office:

1. PMO manager 

A PMO manager manages the entire PMO. They’re responsible for ensuring that the processes are followed and effective. PMO managers also oversee project managers so that they follow the correct procedures. They’ll often liaise with senior managers to ensure that they're updated with progress and that any project risks or issues are promptly addressed.

Average annual base salary (US): $148,938 [ 2 ]

2. PMO analyst

A PMO analyst collects and analyzes data to help the PMO manager and project managers make decisions about projects. They also create reports and presentations to communicate their findings to project stakeholders.

Average annual base salary (US): $92,794 [ 3 ]

3. PMO process specialist

A PMO specialist is responsible for providing expert knowledge and advice to the PMO manager on all aspects of project management. PMO specialists are responsible for the implementation and coordination of PMO processes. This role works closely with the PMO manager to ensure that the processes are followed and effective. PMO specialists may also be involved in training and mentoring other members of the PMO team.

Average annual base salary (US): $80,906 [ 4 ]

4. PMO coordinator 

The PMO coordinator is responsible for supporting the PMO manager in all aspects of the PMO. This includes maintaining project documentation, coordinating meetings and events, and communicating with project stakeholders. They work closely with the PMO manager to promptly complete all activities.

Average annual base salary (US): $77,873 [ 5 ]

Reasons to consider working in a PMO

PMO roles can give you a foundation for career progression into strategic roles and project leadership. You can develop competencies, gain exposure, build your reputation, and contribute to the success of diverse projects. This can be a fulfilling career move, an advancement to work in project management, or may enhance your career prospects in various ways.

Develop your project management skills.

A PMO can be an opportunity to enhance your project management skills and professional networks by working on various projects and learning from experienced project managers. Working in a PMO  may also provide opportunities to work on diverse aspects of project management and help you establish a rounded project skill set.

Gain exposure to portfolio management. 

Working in a PMO can give you exposure to portfolio management, an understanding of how different projects fit together, and ways to optimize resources across multiple projects. You'll learn about how resources are allocated to different areas or projects, changing project priorities, and the project management lifecycle . 

Increase your visibility across the organization’s portfolio.

A role in a PMO can increase your visibility across all of the organization’s projects to help you identify potential problems and recommend solutions. This may help you gain more exposure to project management, influence in your organization, and improve your career prospects. Being a part of the PMO offers valuable insight and experience with an organization’s strategic side, which you might not be able to gain in individual elements of a project.

Improve processes for more effective project management.

Working in a PMO, you’ll be responsible for continuously improving the organization’s project management processes and procedures. This will help ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget. 

What are the requirements to work in a PMO?

There isn’t a single set of requirements for working in a PMO. The required qualifications vary depending on the organization and position you’re applying for. Some common things many employers look for include having a degree, professional experience, and relevant skills.

Consider obtaining a bachelor’s degree.

A bachelor’s degree in project management, business , or a related field is typically required to work as a manager in a PMO. However, there is no definitive college degree or career route to working in a PMO. You can develop suitable skills in various backgrounds or by studying various types of degree programs. To work as an analyst in a PMO, for example, you may benefit from a computer science or data analysis-related degree. 

Get experience in projects.

It’s typically required to have experience working on projects for anyone looking to work in a PMO. You can gain this experience through working in a software team, an infrastructure team, or working in a project management team. Some PMO positions require several years of experience working on projects. 

Build skills.

Different PMO roles require different skill sets. Some of the main skills you should look to demonstrate on your resume when applying for PMO roles include:

Excellent writing , communication , and interpersonal skills

Strength in working both independently and as part of a team

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Detail-oriented with the ability to see the big picture

Flexible and adaptable to change

Organized, efficient, and able to meet deadlines

Knowledge of business goals

Ability to meet project goals

Research in-demand skills for different PMO roles on career sites like Zippia and ZipRecruiter, which compile data from thousands of resumes and job descriptions. For example, ZipRecruiter reports that top skills listed in PMO manager job descriptions include program management, oversight, project management methodology, and enterprise resource planning [ 6 ].

Consider a master’s degree. 

A master’s degree in project management or a related field can be beneficial when looking at PMO roles. If you’re looking to advance into more senior roles, a master's degree may give you a competitive edge. Advanced degrees can help you to stand out as you move up the career ladder.

Certifications for PMO job roles

Certifications aren’t necessary in every case, but getting one may help boost your career. By completing certification coursework, you'll learn best practices, get insights into the latest trends and technologies, and put yourself ahead of the competition.
