PMO Advisory
A PMO should make projects easier to control — not create more administration.
A PMO can provide structure, visibility and governance.
But when processes become excessive, reporting becomes disconnected from decision-making or responsibilities are unclear, the PMO itself can become part of the problem.
I help organizations establish, review, simplify and improve PMO structures so that they support the projects they are intended to control.
Where I Can Help
PMO requirements are different from one organization to another.
Depending on the situation, I can support:
PMO Setup
Defining the structure, responsibilities, governance model and core processes required for an effective PMO.
PMO Review
Assessing an existing PMO to identify gaps, inefficiencies, duplication and areas for improvement.
Governance
Clarifying decision-making, escalation paths, responsibilities, reporting and management controls.
Project Standards
Developing practical approaches for planning, scheduling, reporting, risk, change and project performance.
Portfolio Visibility
Helping management obtain a consolidated view of project status, priorities, risks, resources and issues.
PMO Improvement
Streamlining existing processes and improving the relationship between project teams, management and the PMO.
Practical Rather Than Bureaucratic
A PMO should provide management with useful information and project teams with useful support.
My approach focuses on:
- Clear responsibilities
- Proportionate processes
- Reliable project information
- Consistent reporting
- Effective governance
- Early identification of issues
- Practical management tools
The objective is control without unnecessary bureaucracy.
Advisory or Implementation Support
PMO assignments can range from a focused assessment to support during the implementation of an improved PMO structure.
Where required, I can also support the organization during the transition, helping teams adopt the agreed processes and controls.
The level and duration of involvement are defined according to the actual need.
