Program Management is the practice of coordinating, aligning and overseeing multiple ongoing projects. These activities are often completed within a Program Management Office (PMO), a group responsible for coordination of inter-dependent project work across an organization. The PMO provides the infrastructure, oversight, standards and project management competency necessary to maximize the benefits from the portfolio of projects.
Benefits of Program Management and PMO
Numerous benefits that are realized by effectively using Program Management/PMO, including:
Improved Project Success Rates - Program Management improves the timeliness, cost and quality across the project portfolio
Improved Project Alignment and Prioritization - the PMO facilitates resource allocation decisions across the project portfolio, identifies and resolves potential cross-projects issues, and provides executive management with information to monitor and adjust the portfolio
Improved Standardization across Projects - The PMO implements standard project management processes, governance structures and methodologies to ensure consistency across the project portfolio
