Project Management and PMO

 

Our project management techniques driven by international recognized standards such as Prince 2 and PMBOK (PMI) apply to all types of projects- large, medium, small, business or IT/technical. Our strong and long experience in the subject gives us the ability to deliver efficiently large complex projects with international exposures. We have undertaken projects of the size of a large business, projects with dispersed and multicultural teams, programs made of multiple interdependent projects and we delivered them successfully.

 

Our approach to setting up Project Management Offices and Project Support Offices is identical to our project management methodology. Depending on the industry and/or the level of the PMO- is it for a large project only, is it for a department, or is at corporate level- we tailor our solution accordingly and we put in place a structure that is scalable and that can deal efficiently with project control as well as with project management mentoring.

Reporting is broken down into various levels providing the right information at the right time and to the right people. For instance, Middle Management will require more detailed information on projects and on a more frequent basis than Executive Management. Whilst Executive Management may be more interested in finance, risk, major issues and deadlines.

 

We recognize that a PMO initiative at a corporate level or at a department level should be dealt with as a Change Management project. The main effort is usually in finding the best way to get buy-in from the main stakeholders in order to put in place workable processes and procedures.

 

In summary, our project management techniques and our PMO processes include all types of project risk management, project governance, project organisation, project control finance, risk, issues, delivery etc), reporting (steering committees, escalation routes etc), vendor and contract management, RFPs evaluations & bid management, legal etc.
