Abstract. Project management offices (or PMOs) are becoming a very well known concept and widely used organizational unit which is organized to support and develop project management systems and methodologies in companies in various sectors of economy. PMOs are being organized in more and more Russian engineering companies. However, PMOs have different forms and functions in different organizational context. It is very useful for theory and practice to analyze the real practice and define which characteristics and forms of PMOs are more accepted. The research presented in the article shows that PMOs are very popular among Russian engineering companies and the trends in their development are in line with the trends in other countries and industries.
