Approach: PMO Functions - Overview
A Mature and Successful PMO has Specific Functions
The Program Management Office (PMO) is a multi-dimensional organization within the Business and Project Delivery organizations. It provides the basic framework that connects Business, Projects and Delivery together. It helps to ensure that the Business is Prioritizing projects to meet long-term and short-term Business Strategies. It ensures that the Projects have what they need to deliver Promised Results in a timely and efficient manner. It is the infrastructure that supports the Project Teams. It understands the Business’ Strategic “Vision” and holds it up constantly. It plays as important a role as the Business permits. The mature PMO should have specific functions and responsibilities that are supported by the Business and communicated throughout the organization. Clarity around those functions and freedom to perform them are essential to the PMO’s success. We at Exervio believe the Functions of the PMO should be as follows:
❑ Project Prioritization
❑ Risk Management
❑ Resource Allocation
❑ Issue Management
❑ Project Cost Management
❑ Change Control
❑ Time/Expense Capture
❑ Knowledge Management
❑ Communication
❑ Quality Control
❑ Reporting
