Premise
A Project Management Office (PMO) is a centralised team striving to bring economies of repetition and standardization to projects within an organization. Are you successfully driving project EXECUTION, PERFORMANCE and VISIBILITY within your organization, department or portfolio? Through a prolonged intervention, contextualize and apply learning to facilitate a PMO at your workplace.
Description
Winning organizations are successful in delivering organization value by design and not by chance. Through standardization PMOs enable organizations to manage projects more consistently, with better visibility, whilst lowering overall project costs (if implemented well). Further, PMOs play a role in establishing appropriate organization structure, processes and information systems to increase the effectiveness of people and efficiency of systems, customer satisfaction, profitability, waste reduction, and highly engaged human capital. The adoption of PMO best practices has been the strategy of leading companies globally and has evolved over several decades for delivering value on a sustainable basis. The PMO framework is a comprehensive integration of Management, Leadership, Customers, Suppliers, Operations, Sponsors and Teams and other ecosystems that contribute daily to the success of business value delivery.
The key deliverables of the PMO are industry standards, templates, metrics, a knowledge base, processes, a resource pool, and tools. Establishing a PMO that delivers real value to an organization is something which takes time and is best done incrementally, in stages.
Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3™) is the systematic management of projects, programs, and portfolios in alignment with the achievement of strategic goals. The concept of organizational project management is based on the idea that there is a correlation between an organization’s capabilities in Project Management, Program Management, and Portfolio Management, and its effectiveness in implementing strategy. The degree to which an organization practices this type of project management is referred to as its organizational project management maturity. The Project Management Institute (PMI) introduced OPM3™ to help organizations translate strategy into successful outcomes, consistently and predictably. Knowledge, Assessment & Improvement are its three key elements.
