PMO

Take your project organization to the next level

PMO

In increasingly complex and often globally networked corporate structures, large project organizations can no longer avoid setting up and operating a Project Management Office (PMO). With a professional and value-creating Project Management Office, we can anchor processes and methods in your project organization and significantly improve project transparency.

PMO by SMF: Take your project organization to the next level!

Complementing our project management expertise, we offer a flexible and reliable PMO service with nearshoring capabilities. A firmly anchored PMO, for example, ensures uniform and consistent reporting and thus improves the decision-making basis for portfolio management.

Strategic PMO, supporting PMO or monitoring PMO?

Which PMO is right for your organization? Theory distinguishes between three PMO types:

Strategic PMO

The strategic PMO primarily specifies methods and processes of the project organization and thus acts as a so-called "Center of Excellence".

Supporting PMO

The supporting PMO intervenes most deeply in the project management of the respective organization. For example, PMO staff are "seconded" to the project for the duration of individual projects. On the one hand, this can serve to take group-specific processes into account or, on the other hand, ensure methodical support for specialist project managers.

Monitoring PMO

A monitoring PMO develops overarching control mechanisms to ensure the project management quality of an organization. This can be done, for example, in the form of "phase gates" or "health checks" of individual projects.

PMO-Nearshoring

For an optimal use of resources, we offer the approach of PMO nearshoring through our branches in Eastern Europe. Our employees in Belgrade and Ljubljana act as PMO back office and are mainly responsible for administrative tasks.

You, the customer, will be provided with a qualified on-site consultant as your first point of contact. The on-site consultant manages the service for you and especially ensures the quality of the service.
