What's the difference between Directive and Controlling PMOs?

Question

Every project your company completes can teach you a lot about what works and what doesn’t within your company’s culture. Project management offices (PMOs) help you to learn from all of the work that’s been done in the past. They’ll give you the templates and the guidance you need to make sure your project takes the right approach and makes sense to everyone you work with. There are three different kinds of PMOs that you might run into in your career ( Supportive, Controlling and Directive).

A controlling PMO focuses on the four controlling services: governance, assessments, reviews, and audits. The primary goals of the controlling PMO are:

To ensure that the methodology, standards, processes, and tools are being used correctly

To define and direct corrective action to create ongoing improvement in project management

the directive PMO – is quite different. The directive PMO directly manages most or all projects within the organization.

They both are active PMO types.

Controlling PMO: the office provides support and requires that the support be used. It can mandate specific methodologies, templates and work streams. They typically own the auditing process over projects.
Directive PMO: the office takes over projects, allocating its project managers to them. This approach generally ensure a high standardisation and a common process.
