Our Approach
Our first step was to understand how the lack of a dedicated PMO function impacted project managers, sponsors, clients and SMEs.
The results of this detailed engagement enabled us to engage with the Exec. Team and other senior decision-makers to agree on a full scope of requirements to improve project delivery. The agreed approach was to implement and run a PMO function over three phases.
