#UrukPM #ProjectManagement #Podcast

In this episode of the 4PM Podcast, host Mounir Ajam tackles a common yet often misunderstood question: What’s the difference between a Project Management Office (PMO) and a Project Management Division (PMD)?

While PMOs vary widely in scope—from departmental support units to enterprise-level oversight—most fall short of treating project management as a strategic, enterprise-wide function. A PMD, on the other hand, represents a paradigm shift: it is institutionalized at the board level, permanent, and central to governance.

Mounir breaks down the different types of PMOs, offers a practical exercise to help you spot gaps in your own organization, and highlights why a PMD isn’t just an “upgraded PMO” but a redefined approach to project management. If you’re curious about the future of project governance, this episode will give you the clarity you need.
