Does your PMO provide services and solutions to your business' problems? How do you define your PMO's services? What is your approach to recognise any PMO domain problems and how do you then provide PMO Solutions which are quantifiable, efficient and effective?
To answer these questions, you need to have a clear understanding of what the role of the PMO in the business really is.
Conceptually, there are five core pillars to each and every business to examine when assessing the PMO needs:
- Business Services
- Business Processes
- Methodology
- Systems
- Tools
After a thorough analysis of the PMO solutions or service across each core pillar an effective PMO must analyse the service gaps identified between the core pillars. Only by filling these identified gaps can your PMO develop and design integrated solutions to your business' problems in order to drive measurable value.
