ASSURING THE SUCCESS OF A PROJECT SUPPORT OFFICE

Implementing and maintaining a PSO is a big step. Let us show you how we can help reduce your risk. We offer a proven methodology and a series of tools aimed at minimizing the time and cost incurred in establishing and maintaining a world class project support office and improving project management practices.

The methodology takes a holistic approach to a PSO beginning with an assurance that the PSO is supported by senior management. Next, current project management practices are documented and both relationships and user perceptions are analyzed. We will build a high performance team comprised of your project managers to develop and implement a project management methodology. In addition, we will assess the skills of all project managers and note individual development needs.

EII has developed a suite of web-based tools (listed below) to assist with the implementation of this methodology. Together, they provide a sound blueprint for PSO success. The tools are often used in conjunction with other methodologies, or can be used individually. These tools assess:

• the readiness of an organization to undertake a project management methodology
• the skills and competencies of project managers along multiple management and business dimensions
• the perception users have of the information systems function

The main tools are:

Organization Readiness Assessment

Information Services Perception Assessment

Project Manager Competency Assessment

Project Manager Skill Assessment
