PMO tools and remote working: the ideal match?
Remote working has become the norm for many project teams within the last couple years; professionals often choosing to work from home or away from the office at least a few days a week. With this in mind, we’re looking at how PMO tools can bolster remote working.
How PMO tools bolster remote working
Improving communication: PMO tools provide a way for project teams to communicate online – share project stats and view real time project updates; improving communication between all members of the team and ensuring that everyone involved is kept up-to-date.
Task visibility and ownership: PMO software also provides clear and concise task visibility, as well as providing an overview of who the owner or responsible person is for each task – ensuring that, no matter where your team is working or what their schedule looks like, everyone knows what they’re responsible for!
Risk management: risk management and mitigation are essential to project management teams and PMO tools such as that offered by Sycamore Gap include a traffic light system specifically to highlight levels of risk – providing an easy-to-read overview of any potential and/upcoming risks.
Reporting functions: reporting is essential to fostering productive and motivated project teams; providing a valuable overview of how projects are progressing, any improvements that need to be made, and any arising risks/barriers to completion.
App-based software: Sycamore Gap’s pre-built PMO software also provides one solution to all project needs; an app-based and therefore cloud-based solution that moves away from traditional copy ‘n’ paste Excel spreadsheets and saving multiple versions of the same documents on individual computers – meaning that all team members have access to the most up-to-date project information available.
In short, if your project team is made up of remote workers or hybrid workers, PMO tools are the answer!
