4 Page 3 GBA 573 - IT Project Management Final Project - Establishment of a Project Management Office 10 July, 2003r Project Overview Introduction Company background ABC Corp is a software and system development company that conducts multiple IT related projects on an ongoing basis. Recent research has shown that a best practice is to establish an office to lead and manage IT projects. PMO background and Justification It was determined that a Project Management Office (PMO) would improve ABC’s ability to appropriately and effectively manage and staff IT projects and reduce costs. Over the last five years projects have experienced trouble either in the form of:  Scope creep, resource shortages, increase in costs and delays in project completion, and project failures. Overall ABC incurs an average cost of $348,000 annually. High Level PMO Responsibilities Consistent project management methodology A standardized project management tools. Instituting a project governance process Project oversight of IT projects company-wide.

IT projects undertaken using a proven project management methodology carry less risk and have a greater chance of success than unstructured projects. A consistently used methodology improves productivity by at least 30 percent (0.8 probability)”. An organization (of any size) needs a project management methodology when it desires consistent, predictable results and a process that is open to improvement. In the absence of a stable process for IT project delivery, there is no possibility that project management will be consistently improved, because improvements are random and non-repeatable.
