Project Management Office
As the number and complexity of projects throughout the business world has increased, the need to have a centralized project-coordination function has increased commensurately. The popularity and expansion of PMOs among organizations appears to be related to this increase. Consequently, organizations are increasingly implementing PMOs. According to the State of the PMO 2010 survey, 84% of organizations are currently implementing PMOs in their organizations, a jump of 36% from the year 2000 (PMI, 2012). Organizations with PMOs report more projects completed on time, in budget, and meeting business goals.
PMOs help reduce the number of failed projects, delivering projects on or under budget, improving productivity, delivering projects on or ahead of schedule, and increasing cost saving. PMOs add value by monitoring project-performance governance, providing training, and setting or defining standards (PMI, 2004). As companies realize their strategies are being achieved through projects and therefore it’s critical to have a way to manage these projects, PMOs have gained popularity. PMOs coordinate multiple projects across an organization, act as mentors or centers of best practices, and improve project-management capabilities in an organization.
Our team of PMP experts facilitate a framework of 11 steps or aspects deemed necessary to establish a successful PMO; each step should ensure achieving one or more of the requirements and deliverables that are acknowledged through best practices as necessary to establish a successful PMO. They are summarized in hereafter.
1. Understand Organization Definition of Success
2. Define the Mission, Objectives, and Strategy of the PMO
3. Specify the PMO Functions and Types
4. Define PMO Success Criteria and Metrics
5. Define PMO Organizational Structure
6. Determine the Number of PMO Staff
7. Define PMO Charter
8. Ensure Commitment and Top-Management Support
9. Build or enhance the Project-Management Methodology and Processes
10. Training
11. Track PMO Metrics and Ensure Continuous Status Update
We look forward to our next engagement with your company.
