      abstract = {This study empirically investigates the effectiveness of Corporate Project Management Offices (CPMOs) in enhancing quality outcomes within large-scale projects. Using data collected from 63 executives and project managers at the Jeddah Central Development Company (JCDC), the research validates a five-dimensional CPMO model and its impact on three key quality indicators: waste reduction, non-conformance report reduction, and rework reduction. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) confirms all hypothesized relationships, with  values ranging from 0.322 to 0.574. The findings provide actionable insights for organizations seeking to optimize PMO functions and contribute to the global body of project-management knowledge, particularly within the context of Saudi Arabia?s Vision 2030.},
