Program
Management Office (PMO) Development
Does this sound like your organization?
ACHEM Inc. initiates
projects without consideration for resource availability or
the potential impact a new project may have on existing initiatives
elsewhere in the organization. While the reasons for this are
many, the results are almost always the same: cross-project
competition for the same resources, overworked project managers
and teams and, inevitably, that downward spiral of project
slow-downs, cost overruns, and low morale throughout the entire
organization. But the work keeps coming in at a faster and
faster pace, and Management is looking for solutions.
The answer
may be a central Project Management Office (PMO) dedicated
to improving the practice and results of project management
within the organization.
A strong PMO is key to
success.
Project management professionals know that a strong PMO is a
key success factor for organizations with many simultaneous projects.
But they may not know how to establish or maintain a PMO – or
how to get executives to provide critical support.
MetaVista can help your
organization establish a PMO.
MetaVista Consulting Group has learned through extensive experience
in assisting our public and private sector clients of all sizes
with the establishment and improvement of their Project Management
Offices. We have successfully helped organizations to:
- Clearly and concisely communicate the value
and benefits of a PMO to executives, thus helping them to obtain
funding and sponsorship for the establishment of a new PMO;
- Define the PMO's charter, roles, and responsibilities within
an organization;
- Define, develop, and implement the strategic
and tactical plans necessary to establish a new PMO;
- Review
and analyze existing PMO structure, processes, procedures,
and resources to identify specific opportunities to strengthen
the PMO;
- Identify and implement tools to enhance project
portfolio management, thus enabling organizations to quickly
and efficiently determine:
- Which projects are on track and which are not?
- Which
projects are using key resources?
- When will these resources
become available to take on additional projects?
- How
should projects be prioritized so that resources are not
overloaded?
- How will changes in one project impact the
other projects currently underway?
- How can we use our
resources more efficiently so that the most important work
is completed without schedule or budget slippage
