Topics
Step 1: Assess Needs
We begin with our detailed checklist of functions a Project Management Office can support. The functions are organized according to the list above. Here is an example of the details for one of our categories:

Example: Project Planning Support
a. Kick-off projects with Rapid Initial Planning®
b. Perform Risk Assessment (with KnowRisk)
c. Provide Expert Estimating consulting
d. Maintain and update Methodologies
e. Store and tune reusable templates
f. Maintain metrics

To complete this step, you select the functions that will provide your organization with the greatest value, then we help you assess the ease of implementation of your high-value functions.

Step 2: Develop Implementation Plan
After you select the functions you wish to improve, we’ll develop an implementation plan. This plan may include search and acquisition of project management products, methods, or tools. It also often includes coaching, training, or project-specific consulting services.
