The Journey so far

So why a TfL PMO?

9. 26 February 2015 9
A TfL PMO because..
• We need to understand whether we are delivering
the Mayor’s Transport vision
• Clearly separate Operational expenditure from
Capital investment
• With an annual Capital Investment spend of
approximately £1.8bn we need to have visibility
• Our investors want confidence in our ability to
deliver
• We need a consistent way to measure our
performance, aligning Processes, Capability and
systems

10. 26 February 2015 10
TfL PMO was created
• Four elements of the PMO were created
– Centre of Excellence
– Assurance
– Programme Performance and Controls
– Business Change
• Move to align with industry best practice linking
to APM

Pathway
• Within Pathway resides our governance and
methodology for delivery
• For the first time TfL has a single methodology
and governance structure for all Capital
investment
• Linked to the Company Management System to
integrate with standards and policies

Pathway
• Where the Pathway Project Management Plan
(PPMP) tool and product matrix are stored
– The Product Matrix lists the products that are potentially
needed to deliver the requirements of the lifecycle
– PPMP is a record of what documents have been and will
be produced
• Through the products we can define what a
project, programme or portfolio will deliver, how
and when so it can be measured

15. 26 February 2015 15
Integrated Assurance Reviews
• One of the mandatory products is the Integrated
Assurance and Approvals Plan
• Different levels of review depending on size,
complexity and risk
– Three lines of defence
• Managed within appropriate level of governance
• Drive consistency through the organisation

The Future of TfL

introduction of Crossrail and other new
infrastructure
• As money gets tighter we need to ensure we are
getting the most out of every penny spent
• Need to have information available at the touch of
a button
