Project Goal / Vision
The aim of the health check was to assess the current PMO implementation, structure and processes against accepted standard industry good practice and identify areas for improvement. To meet the strategic goals of Group IM Quality Delivery Alpheus needed to identify a pragmatic approach to improve the PMO processes, procedures and solutions for the future Group IM Quality Delivery operating model.
Services Delivered
Alpheus used an in-house developed PMO health check methodology to examine the Group IM Quality Delivery PMO in the following areas:
· Project Governance and culture
· Stakeholder and Delivery Management
· Expertise, knowledge and skills
The areas were examined through interviews with key Group IM staff and Stakeholders and by reviewing key documentation and the technology systems used to support the PMO work. Having analysed the PMO operation Alpheus then scored the areas on a P3O maturity matrix and highlighted those areas where improvements could be made.
Alpheus delivered a comprehensive report to Head of Group IM Quality Delivery containing a series of pragmatic recommendations to improve the setup of the PMO. At the heart of these recommendations was a centralised PMO with local business presence to support consistent delivery controls and integrated technology to provide the tools for a successful Group IM Quality Delivery PMO service.
