Investigating the Causes of Project Delay and its Effects on the Performance of the Project Management Office

The purpose of this research was to investigate the causes of project delay and its effects on the performance of the project management office. Today, projects of any kind, if they are delayed in execution and delivery, involve all the people and officials of the project and bring financial burden to the organization. In addition, delays have a negative impact on various parts of project management, including project management offices. Therefore, in this research, the main factors causing delays in projects are identified and then their impact on the performance of project management offices is evaluated. The statistical community of this research was made up of experts who are proficient in project planning and control, and their number was equal to ۳۰ people. Due to the small size of the statistical population, all people of the statistical population as a statistical sample and participated in the research were considered. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha technique. The normality of the data was tested using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Then, using the t-test of a sample, the correctness of the research assumptions has been checked. The research results showed that project delays affect the performance of the project management office. In addition, the results revealed that the factors causing project delays also separately affect the performance of the project management office.
