The main tasks are:
(1) To write about PMO identification,
(2) To make an analysis of gaps and opportunities of PMO of Boeing Company, and also, (3) provide wide recommendations and Roadmap.
See the paragraph of "Assessment of gaps and opportunities" below and your task is to expand the idea about creation the centralized PMO in Boeing Company.
Assessment of gaps and opportunities
After analyzing the structure of PMO in Boeing company our team identified the gap in the organization. Company running projects within each department and PMO monitors and controls all the projects only within the department. There is no centralized Project Management Office in the organization, which organizes projects execution within the whole company and between departments. All departments work separately on own projects, and they are located in different geographical areas with their resources, in case if additional resources will be required by the department, the process of help request will involve negotiations between departments and can take time and delay the execution of the project. Global PMO for the company can assist in resource allocation and make the process less time-consuming.
Type of PMO that will be the best fit based on the gaps and opportunities we identified
The current type of each PMO departments that exist in the Boeing Company is Directive. The type of global PMO that we are going to provide will be Supportive.
The main problem of the PMOs in Boeing Company is that they have many different PMOs around the world which causes inconveniences such as inconsistency, misallocation of resources, and time delays.
The solution is to centralize different PMOs to make the offices more reliable and interdependent. By providing the centralized PMO:
- the centralized database can provide greater controlling and monitoring of different projects in the whole company all over the world.
- support and allocation of additional resources to the region, which needs assistance, will be provided.
- project risks will be reduced. PMO should be able to do this easily.
- solving business issues that affect the work of the whole company will be more effective.
- there will be fewer conflicts over the priority of resources when decisions have to be made at the highest level.
