PMO efficiency as a factor of organisational efficiency
PMO efficiency can directly impact and even drive organisational efficiency. Let’s explore exactly how this is.
PMO efficiency: How a PMO can drive organisational efficiency
Developing employee knowledge & skills: one of the most important outputs of a PMO is to train and upskill project teams, ensuring all project employees possess the knowledge, skills and technical know-how needed to achieve project success.
Not only does this have a positive effect on individual employee morale, motivation and productivity, but also the overall efficiency, productivity and success of the organisation in which they work.
Improving processes: an efficient and productive PMO will always look for ways to improve and create new, clear processes for employees to follow in specific circumstances which can vastly benefit the wider organisation; saving time, increasing output and improving communication all-round.
Strategy/strategic alignment: PMOs must align with and push forward the core aims & objectives of an organisation, as well as aligning with the business strategy – ensuring all projects serve the organisation on a number of levels.
Boosting resource efficiency: PMOs also serve to boost the efficiency of resources by facilitating the work of teams; providing valuable support, planning & ideas as well as and guidance on projects and to project teams, especially around project best practices and standard processes/practices.
Alongside this, any management tools implemented by the PMO will prove invaluable in boosting team productivity, communication and expectations.
Essentially, a PMOs are an essential business function for any business looking to improve productivity, efficiency, processes and the knowledge and skills of the team, and PMO tools, such as the app-based solution offered by Sycamore Gap can further improve the output of an organisation’s PMO; moving away from copy ‘n’ paste Excel-based PMOs and towards a more streamlined, collaborative, data-driven project management team.
