Program Office solution
  • As its highest level, we believe a PMOs mission
    is to support and facilitate the three components
    of an organizations mission strategic,
    tactical, and operational project management.
  • Whether we augment your current PMO, build, or
    host remotely for you, our right-size solution is
    built with Risk Management as the primary PMO
    implementation outcome.

Mitigate the Risk to Your Bottom Line By Using
FRA PMO solution
  • Our PMO Office solution addresses the key issues
    surrounding risk management and how the PMO
    directly affects the outcome of your mission
    critical programs.
  • Emerging growth companies without a PMO office
    strongly benefit from this controlled cost
    solution that impact the bottom line, such as
  • Denied new revenue on the basis that potential
    Client lack confidence in Program and Project
    Management services for your solution
  • Failure to retain current Clients from less than
    effective communication and management of
    services
  • Missing opportunities for additional revenue from
    current Clients due to the lack of Account
    Partnership Management to explore and participate
    in cross-referencing Client vision and your
    services
  • Business and revenue growth objectives missed
    from personnel struggling to split time between
    new business and PMO oversight strategy

10
Outsourced Service
  • In support of emerging growth companies where
    outsourcing administrative support services is a
    financial strategy, ask us about our pay per use
    services.
  • For right-sizing solutions of larger
    organizations, allow us to support your analysis,
    procurement, service-level agreement, and ongoing
    contract management needs for outsourced support
    services.

Program Office, Program Management Office.....?
No matter what you call it, a central office to
manage projects across an organisation, or part
of an organisation, is becoming a more common
occurrence. I have seen they called Program
Office, Program Management Office, Project
Office, Project Management Office, Project
Control Centre, Project and several other
variations. People have their own interpretation
for each but in the end, their role is to make
projects more efficient
13
Project Office Role
It is essential for the success of a new Project
Office that there is clear understanding before
establishment, as to the role of the office, and
the interaction between the office and the
individual projects. The key to successfully
establish a Project Office or Programme Office is
to gain agreement at the start of the process, as
to the responsibilities. A useful and speedy
technique is to workshop the possible activities
with the key players, and gain consensus as to
what the office is intended to do. The
starting point is to create a list of possible
activities, then hold a workshop to evaluate the
responsibility of the office, for each activity.
It is likely in some cases there will be no
activity, and in other cases, the activities will
need to be split down further. It is also
useful if the office is not to have
responsibility, to identify who does have the
responsibility
14
Program office matrix
  • This matrix allows four conditions for each
    activity.
  •         Uninvolved. The Project Office has no
    responsibility for the activity
  •         Monitor. Essentially they are aware of
    the activity and pass on information.
  •         Influence. Whilst the Project Office is
    not responsible for the activity, there is a
    responsibility for the project team and the
    Project Office to work together on the particular
    activity.
  •         Control. The Project Office is fully
    responsible for the activity.
  • On completion of this matrix, questions such as
    resourcing, inputs and outputs can be determined.

15
The Project Perfect Checklist for Project Offices
