The growth in telecommunications sector, mainly on mobile telephony, has been very significant since the end of 90's due to the public policies adopted in Brazil. Among growth strategies, adopted for the four biggest mobile telephony companies in Brazil, there is the use of the joint ventures with other companies, that long ago worked regionally, in order to get the national operation status. As a result of joint venture process, there is the challenge of Technology Information Systems consolidation. Aiming to face these challenges, companies have been using project management practices implemented through the Project Management Offices (PMO). This paper presents the difficulties during the Project Management Office implementing and consolidation processes, in the context of mobile telephony companies' joint ventures.
