Data was collected to determine the management status of portfolio, organizational culture, effectiveness, practices and maturity of project management. The results obtained were statistically assessed, obtaining interesting effects and great opportunities for improvement. Likewise, it was determined that the maturity in the project management has a basic knowledge degree, with advances in own methodology and continuous improvement, which must be complemented, with a promising future in development to continue with the process followed. Based on the foregoing, the implementation of a strategic PMO proposed, whose degree of maturity is reached within a maximum period of two years, with a strategic map of the PMO and a proposal for modification of the organizational structure and PMO, as well as the implementation plan in times, metrics, risks and associated costs.
