More Than a PMO

The textbook PMO definition conceals the majority of a PMO’s benefit by describing it as “a group or department that defines, maintains and ensures project management standards across an organization".

Businesses categorize many activities as projects and easily recognize the need for some degree of project management. However, failure to link projects and project supporting activities to strategic business goals undermines the success of the organization as a whole. A PMO may simply provide basic beneficial services, functions, tasks and standardization. Our EM Key Solutions service delivers many additional benefits beyond those basic PMO functions, including:

Efficiently and effectively delivering value to the customer
Detailed analysis of project parameters, including performance, cost, risks, and opportunities.
Applying project governance based on industry methodologies, standards, and best-in-class processes
Managing project resources across the enterprise (acquisition, allocation, career development, and education)
Empowering project managers to make project-level decisions
Driving core competencies through the acquisition of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs)
Managing risk and issues
Customizing process mapping based on specific project needs
Monitoring and reporting on the health of the business through aggregate project budget and performance
