Project Management Offices

PMO related consulting services include Set-Up, Assessment, Evolution, Staffing and Resource Management.

To successfully design and implement a Project Management Office first requires an understanding of an organization's structure, culture, it's existing capabilities and the nature of the projects it seeks to manage. Next, the ideal end state is defined, including the PMO's objectives, deliverables, structure and supporting processes. Finally, the change management bridge is defined which provides the roadmap for an organization to reach that end state goal. Critical to the success of establishing a PMO is to focus on a few key goals, and to manage to them in a way that reflects both commitment to those goals as well as a periodic refinement based on experience and the ongoing evolution of the overall enterprise.

AIS has developed Project Management Offices for all of its client projects. This includes utilizing models that support both distributed and centralized project teams. This also includes providing evolutionary services to assist Project Management Offices to refine and improve upon existing practices, processes and methodologies. In addition, services to develop supporting documentation and training are provided as well. Finally, AIS also has specific expertise in establishing Project Offices in support of troubled projects, and providing troubled project triage.

PMO services are available to both establish a new Project Office as well as to review an existing one to determine if and how it’s functionality and services might be improved given the needs and processes of the enterprise.
