Program Management Office (PMO) Development

Does this sound like your organization?
Company X initiates projects without realizing the impact each new project may have on existing initiatives elsewhere in the organization. While there can be many reasons for this, the results are almost always the same: cross-project competition for the same resources, overworked project managers and teams, and inevitably, the downward spiral of project slow-downs, cost overruns, and low morale throughout the entire organization. And, the work keeps coming in at a faster and faster pace, and Management is looking for solutions.

The remedy: 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.
We have extensive experience assisting 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, 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, 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?
