What Is a Fractional PMO? Benefits, Cost, and When to Use One
A fractional PMO gives you senior PMO leadership on a part-time, ongoing basis, the governance and visibility of a full PMO without the full-time cost.
What a fractional PMO does
Stands up the operating model, runs intake and prioritization, builds reporting, and coaches your team.
When it makes sense
When you have growing project load and delivery pain but cannot justify a full-time senior PMO leader yet.
What it costs
Far less than a full-time executive hire, structured as a flexible monthly engagement that scales with you.
How to get started
Run the Fractional PMO Fit assessment, then book a call to scope the right level of support.
