We will concentrate on our core areas of expertise...your PMO and implementation of supporting methodologies.

A good PMO must be aligned to the business and have supporting infrastructures to control, monitor and report Programmes and Projects within the investment portfolio. This can include developing the big picture view of the portfolio itself. How that is split into Portfolio Projects or Programmes of Projects. What methodologies, governance and management and reporting mechanisms are in place. Clear definition of roles, responsibilities, accountability, support and stakeholders.

Project Management Offices (PMO's) are reliant on defining and continually delivering their value proposition to the business. If a PMO cannot define and deliver its value offset against its investment to develop and mature, then it will fail as PMO's frequently do.

There are many kinds of support offices ranging from those termed 'Project Management Offices' in the PMBoK, 'Project Support' in PRINCE2 and 'Programme Offices' in MSP, through to complex 'Portfolio Offices' and 'Centres of Excellence' managing an organisation’s overall delivery of change initiatives. The aim of P3O is to provide a single point of reference for setting up and running effective delivery support in any kind of organisation in an environment aligned with best practice approaches.

Having an effective P3O model will provide an organisation with decision enabling information as well as structures for delivering change. The relatively new guidance for P3O has been constructed by the Office of Government Commerce (UK) which pools together all current information on support offices for projects, programs and portfolios. It also explains how benefits are achieved from efficient P3O offices, how to establish a new temporary or permanent or revitalise an existing office, describes the functions and tools that may be useful in the context of current organisational maturity, and how to operate multiple support offices in the same organisation.
