The Programe Management Office (PMO) for many organisations is the home of project and programe management. Whilst the project support office (PSO) is often seen as an administrative function for a particular project, the PMO is the font of all wisdom about projectand programme management processes used within the organisation.
The PMO is often responsible for:
- Methodology – Selection, deployment, training & mentoring
- Project Management Tools and Templates
- Process Creation and Improvement
- Metrics and Reporting
- Integration with Portfolio & Change Management
- Project Resource Fulfilment (staff, equipment, location)
- Financial monitoring and reporting
- Maintaining Central Risk & Issue Registers
- Project Quality Assurance & Project Audits
- Project Planning and Updating Service
By having a single enterprise wide project office, repeatable processes can be applied which in turn deliver consistent quality. We will help you develop the project office role within your organisation, which will bring the following benefits:
- provide effective links with the "portfolio management and assessment" process
- improved standardisation leading to clarity of work practices
- improved project monitoring, control and reporting allowing decisions to be made at the right time
- improved financial reporting and control
- development of templates for activities such as estimating, risk management and planning which will save time and effort by eliminating repetition
