The key facet is the ongoing oversight role the PMCoE provides to the several dozen project
managers it supports. Oversight gives those project managers a clearer indication of their longrange
career path and offers them incentives. The PMCoE resource people each have more
than 10 years with the company and a cumulative 30 years of PM experience. The mentoring
involves a proactive interaction with project managers rather than reactive meetings at times of
crisis.
