I am a Project Manager who started out as a PMO. It gave me a wide berth of the ups and downs that occur in a variety of different projects, it also gave me in depth understanding in how the different project managers dealt with their individual obstacles relating to their projects. I personally found that this embedded confidence in my own decisions going forward. EPG I would say yes, this is highly usual. I am a Project Manager who started out as a PMO.

Being in a PMO position allows to you gain experience in many different projects and from many different project managers. It is a line management responsibility to recognise these individuals that will go far and provide them with the tools and opportunities to learn and achieve. I myself started in Project Management as a Co-ordinator with no project experience. I am now an established PM. Anything is possible if you are willing to work for it.

So the question is tricky. If the question is about a member of PMO and if he could be either or becomes a good PM then the answer will be YES !

Both of them need to be effective for successful execution of project. However, it is not necessary that that a successful PMO be a good PM. PM need to work more closely with the the field (team & customer) and needs special skills to be really successful. A PM cant always be just an economist and strategic thinker.

PMO could model the PMP. but this is hard way through. I would prefere to stay where you're at untill you desire to take responsibility and make a measureable impact to the project. but to seek for the best is always healthy... Sure it is possible.
