During the lifecycle of a project, W. Capra's Program Management Office (PMO) can instill project management discipline and align it with a company's overall goals. Our methodological approach has been proven through years of successful projects for organizations of varying sizes. We follow the Project Management Leadership Group's approach to successful implementations. This 5-step process includes:

Generate Concept

  • Prioritize project in terms of an organization's overall governance, project portfolio processes
  • Assist project leaders with business case development
  • Ensure the project links to a company's strategic goals
Plan Resources
  • Add project to the project management or portfolio system
  • Assign staff and resources to the project
  • Lay out governance standards, including repeatable project processes, training and metrics
Launch Project
  • Provide coaching and mentoring to project managers
  • Begin to facilitate ongoing project planning sessions
  • Ensure proper tracking of project data and milestones
Provide Ongoing Project Management
  • Ensure regular project status reports are available to decision-makers
  • Coordinate communications across business units
  • Conduct regular quality assurance reviews
Complete Project
  • Lead post-implementation reviews
  • Capture and record lessons learned
  • Ensure that project data and project team evaluations are recorded and distributed to decision-makers
The first motive for creating a PMO is to deliver strategic IT projects with more consistency and efficiency.The PMO relies on three metrics to determine its effectiveness: accuracy of cost estimates, accuracy of schedule estimates and project stakeholder satisfaction. W. Capra's PMO services assist organizations with successful implementations.
