Abstract
Researchers examining the development of project office function note that early efforts to support these constructs have failed. Despite this failure however, the recent streamlining of information technology in the organization has created a situation in which organizations are now looking to project office function as a central means for collecting and analyzing data in the organization (Vandersluis, 1998). With the realization that project office function has become so prominent in the organization, this brief investigation considers the development and implementation of a project office function to support a multi-release program within the project management office at abbott laboratories. Through a careful consideration of the current status of the project management in the organization and a consideration of the current methods being used for the development of project office function a comprehensive plan for project office function will be outlined.
