Abstract

This editorial explores the VMO (Value Management Office) as a structure or entity of the organization oriented to the delivery value from projects. Initially, it is necessary to understand what value means for the various stakeholders involved in the projects. This editorial also highlights that there are research opportunities related to understanding the antecedents and consequences of VMO, as well as studies that seek to understand its constituent elements. The frameworks, tools, and practices are also promising research objects, as understanding them helps overcome the challenges related to VMO implementation. It is worth noting that the delivery of value is directly related to the perception of tangible and intangible benefits of projects for the various stakeholders. Accordingly, the integration of stakeholders in projects, from planning, using the “EN 12973:2020 - Value Management Standard” can facilitate the incorporation of value management concepts and practices, as well as frameworks such as BRM (Benefits Realization Management), MoV (Management of Value), Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and PMO-MI® (Project Management Office Maturity Index), which can assist in the implementation of a VMO. Finally, several theoretical lenses and analytical perspectives can be used to understand the phenomenon of value construction from the implementation of VMO in organizations.
