Project Management Office (PMO)

We believe Agile PMO is the ‘consciousness’ of an organisation.
The Agile PMO function is a strategic business partner to your organisation, assists your change and transformation initiatives, influences the behaviour of your people and warrants the delivery of your strategy with more certainty in the outcome.
The Agile PMO function underpins an organisation’s transformation by ensuring all business changes are managed in a consistent and controlled manner. PMOs can offer a range of services depending on the maturity of the function and the requirement of the organisation.
The common services that a Agile PMO provides on a day-to-day basis include:
