Despite the recognition of the Project Management Office (PMO) as a unit to promote maturity in project management and increase the success of projects, its implementation in organizations is often not successful. This research analyzes the best practices of successful PMO implementations, thereby increasing their likelihood of success. Through a literature review, best practices and criteria for measuring success were identified. Through a field survey with questionnaire use, these best practices and PMO success were raised to a group of organizations. Best practices most applied in PMO deployment were identified through these data. Statistical analysis revealed that 14 best practices increase the PMO implantation success.
