Project and Programme Management
Project Management Office consultants guide the execution of PMO tasks.
What Do Project Management Office (PMO) Consultants Do?
The project management office (PMO) consultant role includes aspects of planning, organizing, staffing, executing and governing that will maximize productivity and minimize the margin of error.
PMO specialists develop the standard methodologies used to execute tasks and projects so that they can be perfected and repeated. This reduces the propensity for error and enhances productivity throughout the organization.
They also help to facilitate teams and enable them to do their jobs more effectively by streamlining processes, providing on-the-job training, and overseeing their work to ensure quality and timeliness.
Finally, Project Management Office consultants report on overall project progress to upper management, providing executors with the granular insight needed for effective organizational decision making.

Why Hire Project Management Office (PMO) Consultants?
While your standard project managers focus on managing the day-to-day activities of the team, Project Management Office (PMO) consultants act with more supervisory capacity, providing the framework from which everyone operates within and manages their individual teams.
There are many different levels at which a PMO can operate:
- Enterprise: Keeping projects and programs aligned with the organization’s overall vision and strategy, reporting to the CEO, and exercising authority in tactical decision-making across all projects.
- Divisional: Providing support to projects under a specific line of business within the organization. Tasks include team training, resource budgeting, and program orchestration.
- Project: Providing support to a single project or program where administrative support, monitoring, and reporting is required.
- Project Management Center of Excellence: In this unique role, the PMO will define standards and procedures for all lower project managers, as well as the methods and tools that can support them and their teams.
Without the overarching, high-level support Project Management Office consultants provide, there is limited insight into the overall health and effectiveness of programs and projects. At a certain point, it becomes difficult to pinpoint areas that may be weighing down projects, initiatives, and programs and keeping them from achieving their goals.
Here are just a few of the key reasons why you should choose a PMO specialist for your business success:
Governance
The Project management office (PMO) consultant establishes best practices for each part of the organization by developing standardized methodologies that streamline workflows and enable greater efficiency and accuracy. He/she also provides the organizational framework so that each team member knows their responsibilities within the hierarchy and scope for decision-making authority.
Reporting
PMO specialists act as a connector across the various parts of an organization from C-level executives, to department heads and their respective project managers. They ensure that all parties have visibility where it’s needed so that at-risk projects are identified and repaired before a missed opportunity occurs. This also keeps everyone aligned on objectives so the organization can keep moving forward.
Productivity
Project Management Office consultants can minimize wasted time by managing interdependencies and standardizing repetitive tasks. They’re also responsible for making sure that when efficiencies are gained, other departments are informed so that they can implement them and optimize their departments so the entire organization is maturing as one.
Support
Because the Project Management Office (PMO) consultant is often the one who is creating and supervising adherence to methodologies across the organization, it will also fall on them to train the heads of departments on how to implement them. They will mentor and coach project managers and other team leads so that they can execute themselves with their direct reports.
Strategic Planning
Finally, Project Management Office consultants will partner with senior-level management to prioritize project plans based on long-term goals and implement those plans into timelines with concrete roles, objectives, tasks, and progress milestones. Often this includes the use of project management tools like spreadsheets and Gantt charts and Kanban boards.
