2010 Venkatachaliah Babu Kanamanapalli The Setting Up of Project Management Offices (PMOs) for Large Project Initiatives By Venkatachaliah Babu Kanamanapalli, PMP Abstract The Challenge PMOs are set up by organizations to address organization-specific project management needs. PMOs can be permanent entities within the organizations tasked to improve the project management culture of the organization or they can be temporary entities created to ensure the success of large, complex, or strategic projects within an enterprise. PMOs are also proposed by vendor organizations in managing large initiatives for customers and, in many instances, customers see the value of engagement-specific PMOs and may even be willing to bear additional costs by the vendor in staffing PMOs for such engagements. As the size and complexity of projects increase, organizations need to enhance project management capabilities to establish credibility of managing such large and complex initiatives successfully. The setting up of PMOs by vendor organizations, often as an intervention to ensure effective governance for large and complex projects, especially where performance metrics have financial implications, is an increasing trend. Although the importance of setting up PMOs for large complex engagements is appreciated, it is extremely critical that the PMO be designed appropriately to align with the needs of the engagement in order for the PMO to function effectively and provide value to the project management effort of the engagement. This article provides a view of an approach that can assist in setting up PMOs for a large project initiative from a vendor organization’s perspective. Although, in a generic context, PMOs can mean project, program, or portfolio management offices, in the context of this article, PMO is viewed as a project management office and does not refer to program or portfolio management office. What Are the Typical Challenges Involved in geographical spread of the team. For example: An IT Managing Large and Complex Projects? initiative staffed with a team size of over 150 consultants T o understand the challenges in managing large and • Time: Projects with timelines running into multiple complex projects, it is necessary to understand what years. Short-duration projects with fewer deliverables makes a project large and complex (i.e., understanding have better chances of success given the project the parameters that define the size and complexity of a management and execution focus available compared project). Following are a few dimensions to consider: with long-duration, multi-year initiatives that need • Size of the project: This can include metrics, such as sustained and consistent high-performance levels for number of resources in the project team, diversity, and success

Such demands that the project management focus be on initiatives are large and complex enough to pose considerable assessing project uncertainty and risk management and risks to the organization if not well executed. continuous effort throughout the project life cycle, while Given this backdrop of large complex projects, it is of addressing project issues or problems. Lack of focus interest to understand the typical characteristics that can between managing risks and immediate issues facing the influence the approach to project management in such project impacts project performance. Given the size and engagements. A few of such characteristics are as follows: complexity of such projects, the project management • The size/effort involved weighs heavily on the project team is put under increased stress in managing the same. management team. The required project management focus can be demanding, given the number of activities Although the above list of parameters describing and their inter-dependencies. large and complex projects is by no means complete; for • Increased collaboration effort. Increases in the project the purpose of this article, we could view the resulting team size, as well as the number and variety of clients implications on project management areas across three layers (may be diverse across client businesses and geographies), as described below (Figure 1): vendors (e.g., subcontractors), and other internal support teams can increase the collaboration and communication effort manifold. The decomposition of work on large projects leads to an increased number of manageable units of work, thereby leading to increased collaboration effort across multiple stakeholders to manage dependencies and Strategic integration. An increase in the number of stakeholders significantly increases the number of potential communication channels and the related collaboration Tactical effort. • In order to address project risk and ensure superior vendor performance, stringent performance criteria with financial implications (penalties and bonus) are typically included in such project contracts. This results in Operational increased project management effort from the monitoring and control perspective. Reduced effectiveness can be costly in terms of penalties but, more importantly, errors can mean a huge wasted effort and lost time.

For large projects, the project management effort at the An Approach to Setting Up the PMO for an operational layer could be significant. Although a project Engagement management effort in the range of 10% to 20% of overall Every project is unique. So, the PMO that is set up for a effort for IT projects is assumed, a dedicated part of this large, complex project needs to be unique to the needs of the effort may be required to have oversight to ensure effective project.
