Introduction

Imagine a world where the tedious task of setting up a Project Management Office is taken off your plate, freeing you to focus solely on delivering for your customers.

Within just 7 working days, you’ll have a fully operational PMO, leaving you to channel your energies where they matter most.

The Crucial Role of a Project or Programme PMO

A Project or Programme PMO is not merely an admin function; it’s the tactical powerhouse specifically engineered for the success of individual projects or programmes. Created to operate for a finite period, it acts as the nerve center for planning, governance, and execution. It ensures tight alignment with the project or programme objectives rather than broader organizational goals. By fostering transparency, mitigating risks, and accelerating delivery, a Project or Programme PMO is an invaluable asset for any project or programme aiming for success, dissolving once its mission is accomplished.

Why Setting Up a PMO Can Be Challenging

Establishing a Project or Programme PMO can be time consuming. You need to find the right PMO Leads and analysts. They have to understand best practice, and how it needs to be tailored for your unique organizational setting. Just as no two projects are the same, the same is true for the PMO that supports them. That’s why we meet with the organization, and the project/programme team to understand the challenges, and where the PMO can support delivery.

Building a PMO specifically created to support an individual project or programme, requires the swift implementation of tailored processes, governance structures, and alignment with project or programme objectives. These activities are detailed and time-sensitive, as any delay could directly impact the timeline of the project or programme it’s designed to support. In an environment where time is a critical resource, the challenges of setting up a temporary yet highly effective Project or Programme PMO should not be underestimated.
