As a team, you will be graded on your creativity and ability to apply the steps in the PMO lifecycle to produce a proposal for organizations to improve their existing PMO or justify the creation of a new PMO for those organizations that do not have a PMO. A rubric for each part of your term project is provided in the unit corresponding to the term project.

PMO Topics:

Setup a New PMO (Unit 5 and 6)

• Topic 6: New PMO in Construction

Energize an existing PMO (Units 10, 11,& 12)

• Topic 6: Existing PMO in Construction

You will use the same organizations/industry type to establish a New PMO, then you will assess the same PMO using Capability Maturity Model ( CMM) to show issues that will warrant the changes in the PMO.

Part 1: Report on New PMOInstructions

The following will help you answer the business case:

• What type of authority will this PMO have?
• What will the PMO type be (Basic? Functional? Enterprise?) Some combination of these?
• How will you position the PMO to be scalable if the organization chooses to grow the PMO later?
• What functions will the PMO deliver, and not deliver? Who will perform the QRM function?
• What is your proposed plan for carrying out the following steps to create a PMO?
• What are the barriers to success?
• Provide an organizational chart for how the PMO will report into the organizational hierarchy.
• Select appropriate metrics to measure the performance of the PMO.
