Birth of PMO in COMAU
2007: PMO year zero
Comau business complexity increased frantically in the last 15 years, and a dramatic change was required.
At mid 2007, following the need of a better projects governance, a Corporate Contract & Project Management Organization was established in Comau to:
Manage multi-national projects with the right empowering and visibility Harmonize Project Management rules and tools worldwide
Manage Projects Portfolio
Allow experiences flow between different Countries and Businesses
Comau started the travel from a centric-multiclustered model to a collaborative-networked model
Four main areas of action were identified:
Organization Processes
Skills & Behaviors Communication
The Project Management Institute (PMI®) was chosen as a reference for Project Management practice and the PMBOK® as a guideline for Project Management Processes.
