Project Management

Services

Project Management Office (PMO) is the office or department responsible for establishing, maintaining, and enforcing project management practices, processes, procedures and standards. It provides services, support, and certification for project managers. The Standish Group's latest CHAOS numbers show only 28% of IT projects come in on time and within budget. From users, they look like additional requirements; from the executives, they look like changing business goals; and from the developers, they look like the latest technical fashions. We need a war room. The war room of IT is called the Project Management Office (PMO). The PMO (also sometimes referred to as the Program Management Office) is a concept that is rapidly gaining favor as a way to align business and technical goals, and increase the odds of successful project execution in organizations of all sizes. However, only about 10% of companies have a PMO-like organization today. Standish Group found the PMO in use in companies of various sizes, from a one-person startup to multibillion-dollar, multi-business-unit corporations. On the flip side, PMOs can add expense. Standish Group found that of those organizations with PMOs, 32% spend over $1 million to operate their PMO, 23% spend over $500,000, and 45% spend under $500,000. In addition, PMOs add another layer of bureaucracy, which tends to slow down project flow, and annoys the technical people. However, all the CIOs interviewed say it is well worth the effort. Standish Group research has identified three basic types of PMOs in use: Insider PMO (IPO), Assisted PMO (APO), and Virtual PMO (VPO). The IPO is made up entirely of in-house employees. These employees may be augmented with outside contractors to form an APO. These two models are the most common in use. The obvious advantage of the VPO is that it can cost less than the fully staffed IPO or APO. It also allows flexibility in the range of skills that can be applied, and brings a wide range of best-practice knowledge through the involvement of various personnel.


VirtualPMO (Virtual Project Management Office) service is the most affordable and flexible offering that VTPMO is providing to its clients. VTPMO provides clients with all necessary PMO framework, processes, templates, document management, portfolio management, and project/program management support.
