The document discusses the services that a Programme Management Office (PMO) should provide. It states that a PMO is designed to integrate project management practices and acts as a central hub for best practices, tools, and lessons learned. It then lists some key services a PMO can provide, including project governance, portfolio management, resource capacity planning, benefits management, and maintaining a project database. Finally, it discusses the PMO's role in benefit realization and management, such as identifying benefits, tracking realization, and ensuring changes are sustainable.

3. Programme Management Office (PMO)
A programme management office (PMO) is designed to integrate project
management practices within an organisation. It is a clearing-house of
best practices, methodologies, tools, techniques and lessons learned
To ensure that projects are healthy, the PMO uses assessment tools
sufficient to determine project management competence, and can
intervene either directly in ‘troubled projects’ or indirectly with
competency-based business training.
Given the appropriate governance and PMO’s maturity level, a PMO can:
improves communication and the leveraging of resources for the organisation’s on- going
projects
It is the gatekeeper and the steward of projects governance:
The PMO provides project governance structures that involve both the project and the
organisation’s functional governance
Governance’ is a layer of control over the project to ensure the project is heading in the right
direction
4. Why the PMO is important?
When an organization run multiple cross functional projects concurrently then the role of PMO is
important because the PMO will provide the centralised support
Project Management skill sets are not distributed evenly throughout the organization.
It is crucial to have a support structure in the centralised place such as the PMO to monitor and
facilitate best practices transfer, along with addressing risks and issues and supporting mitigations
Without a PMO the projects may have:
Inaccurate scope definition/or no detailed project plans to achieve it
Inability to achieve on time, on budget and quality of the deliverables due to lack of controls
Scope which is not tightly controlled leading to CIPs goals unmet
Lack of visibility on resources demand
Inability to review existing projects against changing priorities/conditions
Lack of buy in due to less/no project communications
Lack of quality control

Hinweis der Redaktion
The PMO is the creator and guardian of organisation’s methodology, standards, and metrics.
It provides a thorough review and audit of the project management practices, a baseline, of the organisation to insure that good, standardized project management practices are being applied.
The PMO is able to streamline methodologies, map out different models, and determine best practices that can be applied across the corporation.
It has the ability to adapt and tailor its processes and approaches to respond to the unique needs of projects.
It is usually at a higher level in the organisation than the level of detailed operational control. It can involve the project sponsor, the project director and/or an advisory board or steering group, in addition to the project manager and core members of the project team.
The PMO provides the resources and tools necessary to consistently improve the success of the projects and “less reinventing the wheels”
Converting Organisation Goals into Action: PMO connects strategy to execution by: encouraging a discipline of strategic investing, providing transparency, addressing a commonly neglected issue – ‘is the strategic plan feasible?’, helping the organisation focus on value delivery and execution
PMO can provide consistent project management and guidance ( methods, systems , processes, tools metrics etc)
To ensure that projects are healthy, the PMO uses assessment tools sufficient to determine project management competence, and can intervene either directly in ‘troubled projects’ or indirectly with competency-based business training.
Scope: Improved time to implement, Increased project effort visibility ( specially the outcome), Project goals and scope well understood and managed, Improved communication and stakeholder relationship
Time line: Resources managed, reduce rework with repeatable process
Less cost: reduced redundant project effort, decrease cost overruns with repeatable process
Project investments discussed strategically
Feasibility and risk assessed and mitigated before investing
Transparency to stakeholders
Resources deployed on only the highest-value projects
Detailed trade-offs understood when new ideas are suggested
PMO’s resource management:
Identifies project resources needs then coordinate project resources and assignment, provide guidance for utilisation of essential project resources, Prepares routine reports documenting project resource assignment and utilisation, manage standards of performance for project resources, conduct competency assessments for project resources, monitor and evaluate performance of project resources,

Although the project owners are ultimately accountable for the realisation of the benefit but the benefit forecasting of the programmes or project is another PMO's services. Benefits can be tangible (e.g. money saved, jobs created) or intangible (e.g. corporate reputation, capacity for change). They may, or may not, also be quantifiable in cash terms (e.g. reduced costs or greater stakeholders’ satisfaction).
The benefits may only be realised after a project or programme is completed, however the benefit plan should be assessed in the feasibility stage
Define benefits management plan:
Identify and structure benefits: Requirements are captured from sources such as the project mandate and stakeholders. The interrelationships between these need to be understood through benefits modelling and mapping.
Plan benefits realisation: This step involves capturing baseline measurements and agreeing targets. Baseline measurements identify the current performance of an operation so that improvements can be measured. The benefits plan illustrates the timeline and milestones for realising benefits, including any dependencies on project outputs or interactions between benefits.
Implement change: Benefits happen when something changes. This usually involves permanently changing attitudes and behaviours as well as physical changes. While implementing change, new opportunities for additional benefits should always be sought.
Realise benefits: Changes to the way people work need to be embedded to ensure that benefits continue to be realised. A business change manager needs to track realisation and ensure that the change is permanent. The bulk of the benefits may only be realised after a project or programme is completed. Long-term actions and monitoring for continued realisation should be documented as part of the handover to business-as-usual.
