Breaking News:  IPDI is now offering a two day Project Quality Management workshop to help organizations obtain customer satisfaction 


"I was fortunate enough to attend three of IPDI's project management courses (Fundamentals of Project Management, Assessing and Managing Project Risks, and PMP Prep Boot Camp)." 

"IPDI brought to light the need to continue to professionalize the role of the project manager through specific standards, procedures, and ethical considerations." 

"IPDI's chief instructor, Doug Boebinger, delivery to his audience is professional, enlightening, and engaging." 

"He adds real life stories and humor that is a beneficial addition to the training and the subject matter."

Project Management Office (PMO) Development

In this global economy, companies are looking for more effective means to manage their projects.  To accomplish this, many companies are looking to implement a Project Management Office (PMO).

For a PMO to be effective it must be set up properly.  Various items must be evaluated and taken into consideration when setting up a PMO:

  • the organizational structure (functional, weak matrix, strong matrix, projectized)

  • the means the organization uses to earn money (operations, projects, or a mixture)

  • centralized vs. decentralized project teams and functional groups

  • the culture of the organization

  • the level of project management knowledge within the organization

  • the role the organization wants the project manager to play

But don't expect a quick fix, easy metrics or an immediate payback.  It will take time.  It took time for your company to get into its "situation" and it will take time for it to get out of its "situation."  But each journey starts with the first step, followed by a whole series of properly planned and executed other steps.

Together, IPDI and your company will make the journey.
