At EffectiveIT Group, we use short-term advice and coaching engagements to help PMOs solve some of their most difficult challenges, including:
- Gaining executive buy-in and support
- Forming successful PMO and IT steering committees
- Prioritizing incoming requests using scorecard techniques
- Matching resource supply to project demand
- Balancing portfolios based on business strategies, business units, and other business criteria
- Presenting portfolio and project status in meaningful reports
- Tracking post-project success and realized benefits
Because of our unique rapid results approach, we are able to engage with several PMOs every month. So, we thought it was time to start sharing some of our real-world “lessons-learned” from over 100 PMO encounters.
Please read, comment and join us on our journey as we uncover what it really takes to run a successful Project Management Office.
