The research question this study poses is how to measure the efficiency of project management activities. The purpose of this article is to quantify the efficiency of the execution of a project portfolio managed by a project management office (PMO) structure. The research subject is a PMO operating within a petrochemical manufacturing company in southern Brazil. The research method is quantitative modeling. The study employed data envelopment analysis (DEA) to calculate the relative efficiencies of projects in three classes according to complexity over a period of four years. Each project is a decision-making unit (DMU), as required by the DEA procedure. One novelty is the calculation of cost- and time-weighted efficiency values, which slightly differ from the average. The main results indicate that the average efficiency for classes of projects roughly stands between 40 and 80%. The results also indicate a learning process guided by the PMO, as the average efficiency increased over three years in two classes of projects, according to the prioritization imposed by the office. The study also pointed out that the most influential variables in determining project efficiency are accuracy in meeting deadlines and the time planned for completion. The most important implication is that, from now on, the company has a theoretical foundation to justify focusing further efforts on reducing and controlling time to completion, not only cost and scope conformity, to increase overall project efficiency. Future research should prioritize investigating management techniques that increase the likelihood of completing projects within their deadlines.

The Saudi Vision 2030 initiative is critical to boosting national development, particularly in the construction industry. The construction industry is getting a lot of attention in a variety of ways, the most visible of which is the promotion of best practices, including project management office (PMO) applications. Hail province, like others, is experiencing project delivery issues. Thus, the purpose of this research is to explore the most suitable PMO model for Hail public construction projects. A literature review included an examination of the driving factors for establishing PMOs in construction firms, as well as PMO models and typologies that describe their functions. Therefore, those driving factors and PMO models were examined in a focus group to explore their suitability in the context of Hail. The research findings revealed that the Enterprise PMO is the main model for Hail public construction projects, followed, respectively, by the Program Management Office model and the Project Management Center of Excellence (PMCOE). This method of selection for a PMO model encourages construction companies and related businesses to change in order to improve the sector while also addressing construction project delivery challenges in Hail province.
