Project Management Office (PMO)
Organizations continue to be challenged with resource planning and forecasting, the consistent application of defined project management processes, and demand management. A well-managed Project Management Office (PMO) can address these challenges. Integritas can provide you with the expertise and tools needed to help create and sustain a value-driven PMO. Regardless of the size of your organization, we can work with you to deploy a new PMO or optimize and enhance an existing PMO.
Implementing a New PMO
We initially assess your current environment and develop an implementation roadmap that takes into account your organization’s culture and operating practices. We work with you to identify, prioritize, and establish a set of fundamental PMO functions and services. Typical scope includes developing the PMO Charter and communications plan, identifying resource needs and performance measures, incorporating the right amount of repeatable delivery processes to fit your culture, improving the competencies of your staff through training and mentoring, and establishing governance standards. Emphasis is on the PMO providing an organizational focus on improving the management of projects, programs, and portfolios.
Enhancing an Existing PMO
Once fundamental PMO functions are established and running smoothly, PMOs are positioned to expand their charter and provide a more strategic leadership level of functionality and service offerings. PMO boundaries broaden beyond projects to cover complex portfolios that include non-project work needed to operate the business. The enhanced PMO balances and manages the demand on resources. In many organizations, the PMO takes on the role of advocate of business unit needs. PMOs offering this level of service govern with a senior management focus on strategic issues and facilitate and manage change across the organization.
To take your PMO to the next level, Integritas will first review and evaluate your existing PMO structure and current functions to recommend targeted enhancements that will show results quickly. Based on these findings, we provide a transformation roadmap to expand the level of PMO services and organizational influence. Areas of focus for the transformation include overall visibility and influence of the PMO, level of PM competency, portfolio resource optimization, demand management of both project and operations work, and facilitating organizational change.
