Some of the challenges we have helped to fix
How will a best in class PMO help you? Ultimately you need to deliver; this is probably how you will be judged. You need to ensure that you are driving the strategic initiatives that will achieve your business objectives. This is where your PMO will help you, acting as a centre of excellence for project management, setting standards, ensuring there is efficient project control and governance, optimising project management practices and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Each PMO will face different challenges based on the project methodology (agile, waterfall or hybrid), their complexity and the stakeholder community. At Project One, we have helped to shape and deliver best in class PMOs.
We established a PMO function to support BA’s Customer Transformation Programme to bring control to the inflight portfolio. We created a single baselined view, established effective governance with supporting PM processes, reporting cadence and senior leadership review boards. Our work enabled instant visibility of the status of the portfolio with effective supporting governance ensuring efficient decision making and prioritisation.
Royal Parks needed to overhaul their existing PMO function. After an initial maturity assessment to understand current capability, we pragmatically built and incrementally implemented process, tooling and raining whilst supporting the recruitment of a permanent team. Our work has enabled greater confidence in the delivery portfolio through enhanced oversight, better governance and project delivery assurance.
Telenet delivered a ‘Digital First’ customer experience by delivering their new digital platform. Our PMO brought all of the key elements together in this programme. Using a blended near-shore and on-shore model our PMO ensured an effective overview – enabling control and governance for the sponsor and Senior Executive team.
We designed, built and ran the Transformation Office for a global full manufacturing and logistics supply chain programme across 100 countries. We built a full programme plan and processes for maintaining. Introduced risk and issue management to the programme. Introduced tracking and governance of benefit forecasting and delivery. We worked with global Unilever team to support leadership decision making.
Our PMO was the glue that ensured Test and Trace worked together as a team at a higher level, bringing the component elements of the programme together. Our PMO rapidly established the programme’s structure, process, reporting and integrated programme plan. Our PMO achieved a number of outcomes, including to help support informed decision making, prioritisation of effort and resource.
We designed and implemented an agile PMO to uplift portfolio level control across the product squad-based change delivery landscape. This enabled the Exec team to have much more visibility and the information they needed to make decisions on priorities and investment. The delivery squads implemented new ways of working around a common aggregated backlog view, with efficient dependency and resource management.
