The document discusses establishing a project management office (PMO) for a merger project. It recommends establishing a hierarchy of PMOs with different mandates that ultimately report to an enterprise PMO managed by a project director. The PMO would facilitate project teams, identify resource gaps, and ensure standards are followed for portfolio management, methodology, communication, and status reporting. It emphasizes the need for governance, defining projects and deliverables, and balancing autonomy with standardization.

Vince Hines, Managing Director at Wellingtone takes a practical look at the roadmap to enabling a step change in project management maturity. One of the four key components on this journey is the PMO; the engine to this change. He discusses his experiences as a Practitioner but also shares the findings from the State of Project Management Report. The 2017 report was published in April and is the largest piece of non-salary research in the UK.

The Agile PMO - practical value driven change leadership in projects and portfolios
Conclusive research findings show that approximately %50 of PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet, we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations โ wasting money, resources and most important โ wasting time. In this presentation we focus on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general.
We analyze the essential model for PMO value enablement which answers:
โข What is the strategic role of the value driven PMO in business;
โข How to ensure effective streamlined delivery;
โข How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities;
โข How to manage resource allocation.
Key take away โ a PMO must deliver value to the organization constantly. Value isnโt templates, tools and processes rather it is the ability to finish the right projects faster!
A Project Management Office, abbreviated to PMO, is a group or department within a business, agency or enterprise that defines and maintains standards for project management within the organization. The PMO strives to standardize and introduce economies of repetition in the execution of projects.

Business-PMO & IT-PMO - What is the difference
Organizational differences of Project Management Offices and the real world challenges that Project Management Offices face based on their organizational alignment in the overall structure of the organization
This was my dream assignment. I set up and built capabilities for a Project Management Office for a new technology division. I worked with my leadership, within the team, across with key stakeholders to design and implement a standardized Project Management approach for the team. The capstone of this experience, however, was working on the next phase of the PMO office. This presentation is what we shared with our division leadership to document our growth and map out ways to strengthen our capabilities.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
ย
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

3. Assumptions
The Business and IT project teams have the expertise
and knowledge to execute their projects
Complemented with Vendor and Contract staff if necessary
The PMO will facilitate the project teams to identify gaps
and provision required resources and expertise.
The purpose of this paper is to stimulate discussion and
identify considerations for project management success.
Requirements for a lower level PMO are discussed in the
context of a hierarchy of PMOs.
3
4. Organization and Governance
Steering Committees and Project Sponsors for each
project are actively engaged
A hierarchy of PMOs is established, each with different
mandates
Ultimately reporting to an Enterprise PMO managed by a Project
Director-class role.
Is each PMO primarily reactive or proactive? Define the
authority delegated to the PMO
Establish and Communicate standards?
Enforce all / some of the standards?
Coach / mentor? Hire all PMs?
4
5. Organization and Governance
A need to balance autonomy of the Business Unit and
flexibility with standardization
Who performs Project Audits?
Option: PMO outsources this to the Audits department.
Establish and define the Project Management tools and
processes
Consult the Project Teams and representatives from both
companies to increase degree of buy-in
Leverage tools being used today
Establish firm definitions of a Project and a Mini-Project
What are the standards for each?
Recommendation: apply the โminimum necessary methodology
to ensure predictable resultsโ

7. Portfolio Management
What projects are active today?
Which are to be cancelled?
To restart, where is the documentation archived?
Scope management is critical
Be wary of enhancements / nice to haves sneaking in.
Define your projects wisely
Too many projects overwhelm
As few projects as possible
Engage Global PMO to consult and advise.
7
8. Project Management Methodology
A PMBOKยฎ2004 based methodology
Leverage processes in place
Identify and correct any gaps.
Integration can succeed with a different
methodology being used by each company
Ensure a methodology is used.
Move to one after the merger is complete.

9. Communication
Who speaks overall for the program?
Who is the Champion?
What is the standard for a communication
management plan?
Is the Stakeholder list complete?
9
10. Status Reporting
EPM tools will simplify and automate report generation.
A Hierarch of Status Reporting from Project to Enterprise
Must address Financials, Synergies, Time, Risk
Plus Client KPI
Retention, growth, customer satisfaction levels
Must also address People KPI
Overtime, sick days, disability, vacation taken versus banked.
R/Y/G - criteria must be objective to ensure accurate
reporting.
10
11. Project Management
Populate Steering Committees appropriately
Charters for each project must be produced and
approved by Steering Committee
The โPlaybookโ + Schedule must be produced
and approved by Steering Committee
Work Breakdown Structures (WBS) must be
produced
It establishes the deliverables that will be approved
and produced.
11
12. Project Management
Schedules must reflect the WBS
If itโs not in the WBS, itโs not part of the project
Schedules must reflect โgivesโ and โgetsโ
Deliverables required by and requested of other
projects
Sharing information between Business and IT project
managers mandatory
Donโt save all IT testing till the end
Schedules are built using MS/Project not Excel
Excel is a numerical analysis tool.
12
13. Project Management
Risk becomes an Issue when it occurs and may
require Change
All three need to be tracked consistently and
independently.
Establish an Enterprise Change Management
process and Board
Business and IT must both approve IT impacting change.
Standard process to manage Risk, Issues, Change
must be defined and communicated.
Issues and Change may surface on their own.
13
14. One Technology or the Other
Decisions may be required to select one
tool / one process / one technology
The latest and greatest is not necessarily
the obvious answer. Factors to consider:
Retraining Costs
Technology replacement costs
