Project and Programme Control – the PMO concepts

To fulfil their duty to ensure that their clients can make the best use of their time and resources, many IT consultants are taking the lead role in helping organisations establish formal project management processes that encourage the delivery of work initiatives on time, within budget, and to an agreed-on level of quality.

Part of the ability to execute better, faster, and cheaper comes from the organisation’s implementation of common processes and practices across the entire organisation. That way, there is very little learning curve for the project manager and the team members as they transition from one project to another.

The larger an organization gets, and the more projects that are executed at one time, the more difficult it becomes to enforce this organizational consistency. Without it, though, the full value of implementing a common project management methodology is not reached. Shearing Associates recognise this and have a framework and full methodology to offer to clients.
