Project Management Office (PMO)

How to set up a working PMO

A functioning Program or Project Management Office (PMO) is an essential cornerstone of a successful Project Management Culture. The tasks a PMO has to fulfill are varied and not based on a discipline. A PMO is also more then just a Training Center, a Coaching Provider or just a Process Owner. It is a all in one internal solution provider. And yes,such a claim is high - but achievable.

A PMO is not created in a single day
A Project Management Office changes structures in varying degrees, depending on your organization. PMOs combine centralized activities and tasks in order to achieve synergies. They create and enable a transparent reporting across your entire project landscape. This alone is an indication that a PMO requires careful introduction and investment. We will assist you in building and introducing your PMO as we know the risks on the organizational and technical level. Constructing a PMO is a project in itself, operating one on the other hand is based on defined processes and operates reliably.

Rules of Operation
The construction of a PMO heavily depends on the spectrum of tasks and the integration of new interfaces into your existing organizational structure. This makes the definition of the range of tasks one of our most important goals. We can change your situation based on a nominal maturity level model and we can plan to align the gradual development and construction of your PMO over a reasonable period of time. In normal operation, the tasks to be implemented are prepared in accordance with metrics for monitoring and controlling.

Support is needed even when everything is up and running

In addition to the support of your PMO staff ("Coach the Coach") we also offer a complete takeover of the operation in terms of business process outsourcing.
