Fractional Project Management Office (PMO)

SUMMARY:

Our systematic and strategic approach ensures the right-sizing of a Project Management Office (PMO) in alignment with the organization's culture and maturity level.

This approach is firmly grounded in best practices and congruent with the company's goals and strategic plan, yielding optimal results. The development of a well-defined Project Portfolio Management (PPM) strategy enables organizations to maintain consistent project management practices and governance throughout the entire organization.

This transition shifts decision-making from emotionally-driven choices to data-driven project selection and reporting, ultimately enhancing benefits realization at the project, program, and portfolio levels.

Huntsford stands ready to assist you in implementing a scalable PMO to bring order to the project management landscape within your organization. The result is a shift towards a consistent, predictable, repeatable, and quality-driven approach to project delivery.
