Project Management Office (PMO)
Definition, Deployment, Operation and Enhancement
PMOs are increasingly being entrusted with more strategic responsibilities.
Organizations continue to be challenged with the consistent application of defined project management processes, resource planning, forecasting, and other business demands. A well-managed Project Management Office (PMO) can address these challenges.
What exactly your PMO looks like and what it does really depends on the needs of your company.
No two PMOs in the world are exactly the same.
Before you go about setting up a PMO, we help you analyze what your needs are and define exactly what kind of PMO will help you best. Then we will walk with you until your PMO is well established and settled in.
The different roles a PMO can play are:
-
Functional, Structural, Disciplinary
-
Managing shared resources across all projects administered by the PMO.
-
Identifying and developing project management methodology, best practices, and standards.
-
Coaching, mentoring, training, and oversight.
-
Monitoring compliance with project management standards, policies, procedures, and templates by means of project audits.
-
Developing and managing project policies, procedures, templates, and other shared documentation.
-
Coordinating communication across projects.
Define the Requirement
