PMO Business Case - QOREX simplified business case - PMO management and repor...Phil Trickey
Running a PMO (Programme and Project Management Office) typically includes a significant amount of administration. Skilled PMO staff often spend up to 50% of their time carrying out relatively unskilled report production. The vast majority of time, effort and materials invested in report production can be eliminated when using QOREX to manage the Programmes and Projects within the organisation.
Project Management Office Roles Functions And BenefitsMaria Erland, PMP
Created to demonstrate how an organization can improve the delivery of project management services both internally and externally using best practices. A project management office, empowered to govern a project portfolio, including the prioritization process that selects projects for the portfolio, can demonstrate measurable benefits by implementing a project management office using best practices. This presentation explains the roles, functions and benefits of such an office.
Project failure tends to be embedded in a project from the start. There is a spectrum of failures from complete collapse to a range of lesser failures associated with behind schedule and over budget. The reasons are all too well known. Yet the lessons from project failures are not being learned and the behaviours that give rise to failures continue to persist. Project failures will continue to occur until the reasons and behaviours are explicitly understood, acknowledged and addressed.
The reasons for project failure across project phases include:
Requirements
• Poor initial requirement definition
• Poor requirements validation
• Poor management of requirements
• Requirements not linked to business benefits
Solution Design
• Solution design not validated
• Solution design not linked to business needs
• Solution design too complex
• Solution design does not capture necessary complexity
• Solution design based on unproven technology
• Solution not implementable
• Underlying business processes not defined adequately
Estimation
• Errors due to limitations in estimating procedures
• Failure to understand and account for technical risks
• Deliberate underestimation/misrepresentation of costs
• Poor inflation estimates
• Top down pressure to reduce estimates
• Lack of valid independent cost estimates
Project Management
• Lack of program management expertise
• Mismanagement/human error
• Over optimism
• Schedule concurrency
• Program stretch outs to keep production lines open
• Lack of communication
• Poor management of change and scope creep
Development and Implementation
• Lack of competition when selecting suppliers, poor supplier selection process
• Poor supplier engagement
• Poor contract design
• Inconsistent contract management/administration procedures, too much or too little oversight
• Waste
• Excess profits by supplier, supplier overstaffed
• Supplier indirect costs unreasonable
• Inadequate resource allocation and prioritisation
• Organisation cannot handle change
Finance and Budgeting
• Business case incomplete
• Funding instabilities caused by trying to fund too many projects
• Funding instabilities caused by management decisions
• Inefficient production rates due to stretching out programmes
• Failure to fund for contingency
• Failure to fund projects at realistic cost

Lecture Objectives
The core of value in any business centers around Return on Investment (ROI). ROI is the weight of the business value or benefits, calculated as increases in revenue or decreases in cost, over the cost of implementation.
When it comes to cost, most organizations focus on technology costs, and forego the other business-related costs, such as stakeholder involvement, in determining ROI.
The objective of this seminar is to spread awareness about Business Analysis profession, how essential the role of Business analyst (BA) to most organization or government entity, and demonstrate how a BA actively focuses on reducing costs which can be measured in following ways:
• Reduction in rework — if you help focus the team on the right requirements, then there should be reduced amount of unnecessary change. But many projects are plagued by change because requirements are not well understood. This kind of change is waste. BA can help.
• Reduction in requirements churn —Stakeholders’ time are valuable, but without someone in the business analyst role, stakeholders might spend excess time in unproductive discussions. BA can help drive an efficient decision-making processes, document discussions, reducing the amount of time spent rehashing previous discussions.
• Discovering more cost-effective solutions and Prioritize them – Prioritization ensures focus on value.
