Optimizing Human Capital with a Strategic Project Office
Deploy – Operate – Enhance
Organizations continue to be challenged with resource planning and forecasting, the consistent application of defined project management processes, and demand management, to name just a few. A well-managed Project Management Office (PMO) can address these challenges and focus on much more than just delivering projects. The PMO can also focus on putting solid governance, portfolio, resource, performance, and demand management practices in place to provide continuous value to your business.
PM Solutions brings the expertise and tools needed to help you create and sustain a value-driven PMO. We can work with you to either deploy a new PMO, operate your PMO, or optimize and enhance your existing PMO. Our processes are scalable and fit PMOs at any level of the organization (enterprise, divisional, departmental, etc.). PM Solutions’ highly experienced consultants (15 years on average) have deployed and actively managed PMOs for both commercial and government organizations. We’ve worked in most industries, including manufacturing, IT, financial services, and healthcare.
The first step PM Solutions takes in deploying a PMO is to assess the current environment and develop a deployment roadmap that takes into account your organization’s culture and operating practices. Deployment includes developing the PMO Charter and communications plan, identifying resource needs and performance measures, incorporating the right amount of repeatable delivery processes to fit your culture, improving the competencies of your staff through training and mentoring, and establishing governance standards.
We also provide a variety of specialty PMO resources (in areas such as project controls, project/program management, portfolio management, resource management, and business analysis) to help staff your PMO for as long as you require, and will ensure a smooth transition of work responsibilities to your in-house team.
If project management is not a core competency, consider outsourcing the PMO. PM Solutions works in partnership with you to understand your goals and establish a structure that works to achieve these goals. We come equipped with a customizable toolkit of proven techniques and methodologies to execute, monitor, measure, analyze, and report on your programs and projects within the PMO’s oversight. Constant communication between the PMO team and stakeholders is crucial to success and a core tenet of our PMO operating model. Performance measures are collectively established upfront with you, and progress toward established goals is continually provided via quality reviews, status meetings, and daily interactions.
Our PMO team can work onsite at your location, remotely at one of our secure facilities, or a combination of the two depending on your specific situation. You can rest assured that your PMO operations will achieve their stated objectives and run seamlessly without added overhead investment.
PMOs are under constant pressure to deliver added value and a broader range of services. PM Solutions will first review your existing structure to recommend targeted enhancements that will show results quickly. Depending on the findings from our review, PM Solutions works with you to hone in on properly aligning PMO practices with your organizational business strategies, establishing or improving your governance, resource, portfolio, vendor, and demand management practices, and strengthening your performance measurement and reporting.
We make sure you have a PMO framework that’s agile enough to respond to evolving business demands, yet disciplined enough to operate efficiently.
