Is your PMO on the Right Track?

Whether your PMO is newly established or it’s been humming along, sometimes it makes sense to get the perspective of someone who’s Been There, Done That. Projects by Design helps organizations gain the much-needed perspective of an experienced team who can succinctly determine what’s working, what’s not working, and help reorient the team to optimally build product and project delivery capabilities.

What sets us apart is that we’re big proponents of PMOs driving and delivering real value to the organization. That means making sure the PMO is first and foremost aligned with the strategies and the most important goals of the organization. It also means being flexible. One size does not fit all when it comes to methods and models. So, we don’t push one specific methodology. We’ll evaluate your environment and assess which methodologies would work best for your project mix. And by the way, we not only believe it’s OK to use a variety of different methodologies, but we also endorse it and can show you how to effectively manage the use of mixed methodologies.

Projects by Design is uniquely qualified to bring processes, tools, and training for effective project delivery. This ensures you’re working on the right things, at the right time, in the right way.

We can help you:

• Speed project delivery from initiation through acceptance with efficient portfolio management processes. Your project teams can then launch projects with the appropriate level of rigor to ensure the highest value deliverables are aligned to the organization’s objectives.
• Provide visibility into all work and teams through thoughtful use of tools, metrics, and processes. Your teams will always know the status and progress of all projects in the portfolio. This may even include merging multiple tracking tools with minimal integration costs.
• Facilitate communication within and between teams. If you have a highly distributed workforce, then we can provide for an increased level of communication within teams. That leads to highly collaborative efforts and seamless communication across teams.
• Adapt to change. Using the latest practices and pulling from the appropriate traditional, Agile, and Disciplined Agile methodologies, we provide organizations with the tools and processes to efficiently change while maintaining the appropriate level of controls on the processes
