Companies and institutions are often engaged in activities and processes in the form of a project, both for the realization of orders on customer specifications, and for internal initiatives, for example in organization, IT and digital transformation, business development and marketing, real estate, innovation, research. To govern these challenges, companies adopt project-oriented operational modes that provide flexibility, adaptability, and timeliness; they adopt organizational models that enable high levels of integration and cooperation, and synergies between program, project and asset portfolio. Project-Based Organizations (PBOs) refers to a wide variety of organizational models for project/job creation.
