PMO…..What does that mean to you?
•
Pretty Much Over?
•
Punch Me Out?
•
Program Management Organization?
– 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. The PMO is the source of documentation, guidance and metrics on the practice of project management and execution.
•
Portfolio Management Organization
– centralized management of processes, methods, and technologies used by project managers and project management offices (PMOs) to analyze and collectively manage current or proposed projects based on numerous key characteristics. The objectives of PfMO’s are to determine the optimal resource mix for delivery, and to schedule activities to best achieve
operational and financial goals ― while honoring constraints imposed by customers, strategic objectives, or external real-world factors.

PMO…at what level
•
A PMO can be one of three types from an
organizational exposure perspective:
– Enterprise PMO,
– Organizational (departmental) PMO, or
– Special–purpose PMO.

Program Control…..What does that mean to you?
•
It varies
•
Need to keep the PMO definition in mind – which
type?
•
Program Control – PMO Enterprise Level
– Program Control should be established as an independent function in
an enterprise PMO. It implements verification and controlling functions
during a program’s lifecycle in order to reinforce the defined
performance and formal goals. The tasks of Program Control are:
• Providing the infrastructure for the supply of the right information, to the right people, and any updates
• Establishing a way to communicate disparities of program or project parameters
• Development of project key performance indicators (KPI’s)
• Establishing methods to accomplish an appropriate project structure, project workflow organization, project control, and governance

Program Control…..What does that mean to you?
•
It varies
•
Need to keep the PMO definition in mind – which
type?
•
Program Control – PMO Organizational Level
– Consists of those processes performed to observe project execution so that potential problems can be identified in a timely manner and corrective action can be taken, when necessary, to control the execution of the project. The key benefit is that project performance is observed and measured regularly to
identify variances from the project management plan.
• Measuring the ongoing program/project activities
• Monitoring the project variables (cost, effort, scope, etc.) against the program management plan and the performance baseline
• Identify corrective actions to address issues and risks properly
• Influencing the factors that could circumvent integrated change control so only approved changes are implemented

Benefits of Program Control
•
Universal, regardless of which “level”
•
How does the Program Control framework
help communicate the “health” of a
program?
– Provides consistency of measurement, reporting, and processes for
PMO programs
– Provides transparency in sharing information within the PMO, and
externally
– Identifies and promotes best practices
– Facilitates the improvement of program management practices
– Ensures that the programs are integrated across the PMO, and
