PMO
Project, Programme and Portfolio Management Office
Collectively, PMOs will give you a single objective version of the truth across your projects and programmes and provide support for your decision-making, enabling improvements in areas such as resource and cost management. They provide transparency of change initiative progress and will ensure that changes are delivered as quickly and as efficiently as possible.

Our PMO consulting services include assessing your current PMO maturity level, identifying areas for improvement, developing customized PMO frameworks and tools, and providing training and support to ensure successful implementation and adoption.

What is PMO Set Up?
Balancing many initiatives, programmes and projects at once can feel like an immense task. Sometimes with everything running in parallel, there simply aren’t enough eyes to keep on every part of your business. This is where a portfolio management office comes in. We can also work to set up Project and Programme offices to support your change initiatives so you don’t have to. For example, we will help you to define the type of PMO you need to set up and key processes such as project prioritisation, governance arrangements and reporting.
What is PMO Improvement?
