Approach: PMO Functions Defined – (Continued)
PMO Function
Definition
The process by which changes are made requested and approved after the project’s scope has been determined and requirements have been finalized. A Change Control is a formal request that is submitted to the PMO when there are changes/events that are recommended by a project participant that impacts the scope, requirements, schedule, budget or resources of the project. The PMO evaluates the impact of the requested change and directs it to the Project Sponsor for approval or rejection. If appropriate the PMO may negotiate variances to the request that are acceptable to the Project Sponsor. The PMO will own and manage a Center of Excellence and will ensure that all significant project documents are collected in a single project repository and is shareable across the program. The PMO also ensures that the program learns its lessons (i.e. Lessons Learned) and development of Best Practices. This repository should be an active KM module of the company’s ERP system. The PMO is responsible for the Quality of key project deliverables that are monitored by the PMO. It monitors and ensures that the projects are on target, within budget, and appropriately managing Risks and Issues. It measures success against Milestones, Phase completion and Gate Evaluations.
