Abstract
The selection of an organizational structure greatly impacts the success of research projects. As the number of projects increases and collaboration across sectors or organizations becomes more common, managing multiple projects poses significant challenges. One challenge identified is the inefficiency of the current organizational structure in responding quickly. To address this issue, we propose establishing a Project Portfolio Management Office (PPMO). The PPMO serves as a dedicated entity to ensure the achievement of organizational goals and improve the agility and performance of the research organizational structure. Implementing a PPMO enables research organizations to effectively manage their project portfolios and overcome the challenges associated with multiple projects. The PPMO is responsible for project coordination, decision-making, and resource allocation. It provides a framework that optimizes project management processes and aligns them with organizational objectives. Furthermore, the PPMO enhances the organization's responsiveness to project demands and facilitates collaboration among different teams and stakeholders. In conclusion, selecting an appropriate organizational structure is crucial for successful research project management, and establishing a PPMO offers a solution to the challenges of managing multiple projects.
