Abstract
In the deployment of Enterprise Project Management (EPM), it is an undisputed fact that Project Management Office (PMO) plays an important role. As a bottom-up approach that complements the top-down approach promoted by PMO, a case of PM community activity is reported in this paper. It outlines the activities of a PM fostering task, a voluntary task that was formed in IBM M&D (Yamato Laboratory) in 2005. It also describes the effects of the task activities so far and discusses the effectiveness and impact of community activities as a bottom-up approach.
