Evolving PMO Roles across Integration Phases PPT
This PPT slide, part of the 157-slide Post Merger Integration (PMI) Handbook PowerPoint presentation, outlines the evolving role of the Project Management Office (PMO) across 3 distinct integration phases. Each phase emphasizes different aspects of the PMO's responsibilities, reflecting a shift in focus as projects progress.
In Phase 1, the core role of the PMO centers on information gathering and analysis. This includes external benchmarking and market observation, which are crucial for understanding the context in which the project operates. The PMO is also tasked with planning programs and sub-projects, laying the groundwork for future phases. Client interaction during this phase involves quantitative data collection and interviews with key stakeholders, ensuring that the PMO has a comprehensive view of the project's landscape. The emphasis on steering committee oversight highlights the PMO's role in guiding decision-making processes.
Phase 2 marks a transition to more defined project management activities. The PMO's core role shifts to defining the business plan and target operating model, along with comprehensive program planning. Ongoing program management becomes a priority, indicating a more hands-on approach. Client interaction evolves to include regular reviews with business leaders, fostering collaboration and timely decision-making. Joint-staffed working groups are introduced, facilitating deeper engagement on critical topics.
By Phase 3, the PMO's role is fully integrated into the operational fabric of the project. Responsibilities include coordination, monitoring, and management of working groups, as well as problem resolution. Communication becomes vital, with a focus on both upward and downward communication channels. Change management and cultural integration issues are also addressed, reflecting the complexities of merging organizations. Tools and processes are refined to enhance transparency and decision-making, ensuring that the PMO remains a pivotal force throughout the integration journey.
