This document discusses enterprise project management (EPM) and the role of a project management office (PMO). It provides an overview of the EPM model, which includes project, program, and portfolio management supported by organizational structures, people, technology, and processes. It then describes the functions and responsibilities of a PMO in more detail, including how it can help standardize processes, provide resources and training, and act as a central repository. The document also includes sections on project management processes and documents, risk management, and critical success factors for establishing an effective PMO.

RAHMAT BIN HASHIM, PMP®
When developing project management processes, you need
to adapt best practices that are commonly used in the
industry such as PMI-PMBoK, PRINCE-2, etc.

in PMO team.

21. The Triple Constraints
(Time, Cost & Scope)
Triple constraints affects the
overall project quality.
The nexus between the
constraints is such that a
change in one will often affect
at least one of the other two.
Balancing the three is crucial
to project quality.
A high quality project is one
that delivers the required
product, service or result
within time, cost and scope.

40. PMO ESTABLISHMENT STRATEGY
Breakdown into stages according to priorities :
1. Establish processes and document templates :
Project Management process
Product Development process
Management Reporting process
2. Define Organizational Framework :
Project Functional Structure
Operational Functional Structure
3. Determine People and Resources :
Project Mgmt skill-sets
Technical skill-sets
4. Introduce technology in-used :
Microsoft Project for Control & Monitoring
Knowledge-based tools
RAHMAT BIN HASHIM, PMP®
41. DEFEATING CHALLENGES IN PMO
Defeating challenges requires the following :
1. Streamlining all processes :
Project Management process
Product Development process
Management Reporting process
2. Obtain buy-in from various stakeholders :
Project Delivery Team
Operational & Support Team
Vendors and Outsource Contractors
Clients or Customers
3. Commitment from Higher Level Management:
To enforce all standardized processes (i.e. Project Mgmt, Product
Development)
To support PMO in the project monitoring and control process
To device mechanisms for project performance recognition
RAHMAT BIN HASHIM, PMP®
We can see here … Monitoring & Controlling Process starts immediately when you commence a project. At this juncture, (i.e. during Initiating Process) project scoping must be clearly defined and agreed by all the stakeholders.
Hence, a project charter document need to be established to dictate the higher level project scope, project duration, project cost, project resources, who’s the stakeholders (from users) and their roles, key deliverables, project constraints and assumptions.
Normally, a Kick-off Meeting or Project Launching Session will be conducted with all the Stakeholders (incl. Project Sponsor, Users, Project Team, Vendors and other stakeholders) to officiate the Project and also to gain all stakeholders agreement on Project Scope, Time and Cost/Budget allocated for the project. It’s part of Project Controlling process… i.e. getting everyone agreed on the same Project Vision & Mission.
The most important factor to ensure project delivery meet the deadline is by identifying the stakeholders and their expectations. By having done the Stakeholder Analysis, you’ll be able to determine the primary stakeholders that require constant and effective communication channel with them so that you can obtain their buy-in as well as their support for you when you require one.
Another important matters, you’ll be able to establish the RACI Matrix once you’ve done your Stakeholder Analysis activity. This will help you develop and establish the communication channel to stream you project updates as required by these stakeholders.
Everything is about delivering project successfully within scope, time and cost. Thus, a solid project organization structure is required to support your mission and vision of the project. Everyone in the project will need to address and deliver their tasks as required so that the Project Manager will be able to deliver the stakeholders expectations as per scope, time and cost stipulated in the Letter of Award (LOA).
