Organizations around the world are implementing formal project management processes and disciplines to deliver their work initiatives on time, within budget and to an agreed upon level of quality. Part of the ability to execute better, faster and cheaper comes from your ability to implement common processes and practices across your entire organization. Many organizations have attempted to deploy common processes by creating a focused Project Management Office (PMO) and giving this organization varying aspects of responsibility for projects and project management methodology.

There are many potential products and services that a PMO can be responsible for, depending on the needs of the organization and the vision of the PMO sponsor. The group is typically responsible for acquiring and deploying a common project management process to the rest of the organization. However, they can also do much more, including training and coaching, project audits, consolidated project status reporting, project management certification, portfolio management, etc.

TenStep, Inc. can help you understand how to best define and utilize a PMO within your organization. We have the products and expertise to help you create and implement your deployment plan, providing you with a fully capable PMO. We recommend deploying methodology in waves, concentrating on the most critical aspects first, and then rolling out increasingly more complex and sophisticated features of the methodology as time goes by.

We will use our predefined PMO model to help you determine:

• The best PMO model for your organization

• The products and services that should be offered

• A Current and Future State Assessment of your PMO needs

• A Deployment Strategy for getting you to your future state

• A detailed Deployment Plan to implement your PMO

• Deployment execution, resulting in a fully deployed PMO for your organization

A Project Management Office can add significant value to your projects and to your entire organization. Deploying your methodology is not a trivial affair. If you are really serious about your organization adopting the new methodology, you must structure and implement Deployment Project(s), taking a long-term, holistic view.

We’ve done it before and we can help you get there. Make sure you don’t miss an important step in the journey.
