SAP PMO

A Project Management Office (PMO)

is a team that sets and maintains the standards for project management within an organization. It is in charge of creating procedures and best practices that will help the organizations operations work smoothly. Functions often include control, training, coaching, and mentoring to support the project manager. This work provides the project manager more time to develop a project quickly. For large projects it can represent a considerable amount of savings per project, resulting in better customer satisfaction and productivity improvements.

A Project Management Office (PMO)

Key Capabilities of SAP PMO include:

Choosing the right mix of projects, an element of strategic planning
Linking executive strategies with ongoing and future projects
Managing the product portfolio correctly
Improving the results of projects, strategically aligned with the company objectives

The first step is from management to give a medium and long-range strategy, outlining the steps to be achieved. The PMO team often bridges the gap between the strategic vision of the company and the implementation.

SAP PMO performs the following tasks:

Define the project type and project plan
Initiate sprints
Manage project issues and risks
Manage project documentation
Manage quality gates and sign off
Close sprints

It is possible to improve the rate of successful projects in addition to those that come in under budget, meet time requirements, and meet milestones. A good PMO has the resources needed for delivery, has a plan, and holds meetings for town hall project updates. The definition of the roles and responsibilities of the PMO members are critical key factors for this success.

Success factors in the implementation of an SAP PMO include:

Ability to define quantifiable measures
Determining the right time to observe those results
Making sure the PMO has the necessary resources
Working to establish creditability in the organization
Having a great project manager
