    When should an organisation consider having a PMO?

    When is it time for an organisation to adopt a PMO? 

    Efficiency and productivity are cornerstone components of a successful business, with good communication between and within teams holding the key to the overall capabilities and abilities of your team(s).

    When should an organisation consider having a PMO?

    If, like so many rapidly expanding and ambitious businesses, you’re starting to notice that your team(s) is struggling with output, you’re spending a lot of your working day copying and pasting data from multiple reports or finding communication difficult, it’s time for your organisation to consider having a PMO

    PMO solutions support professionals such as PMO Leads and Project Managers, to automate and improve many laborious or troublesome tasks & processes such as:

    • Generating comprehensive and standardised reports, quickly and easily 
    • Tracking vital portfolio and project metrics
    • Communicating between teams and team members

    And any other common issue that can take up unnecessary time; time that could otherwise be used to complete more urgent tasks. 

    What’s more, a truly effective PMO will seamlessly integrate with your current processes, procedures, and software – requiring little need for time-consuming and costly training sessions, as well as being generally intuitive and easy to use for those who need it. 

    PMOs exist to enhance and support collaborative working, taking away the risks associated with poor or staggered communication, task repetition and time pressure. 

    Sycamore Gap’s PMO, for example, directly addresses the issues faced by typical Excel-based project offices.
