Back in 2008 the PMO community here in the UK saw a new guidance emerge which was focused on Portfolio, Programme and Project Offices (P3O). It was seen as a great step forward in giving PMOs more exposure within the programme and project management world. The guidance, since 2008, has already been refreshed and updated (that author, Eileen Roden will be speaking at The PMO Conference). Over the last seven years PMO practitioners have also chosen to undertake the accompanying training and examinations.
