Digital PMO
Let’s Connect and Transform Your Business
From a strategic point of view, digital PMO’s enable business executives to retrieve project data at anytime from anywhere. From a day-by-day point of view, they enable project teams to monitor physical (servers, applications, etc.) and human resources in real time.
The key challenge in adopting a digital PMO is the integration of new and legacy platforms that requires careful thought and planning, especially for the integration itself, protection, and security of data.
A Digital PMO is a centralized PMO, which is Digitally Operated, which cuts across various LOB’s of the Client, across multiple locations. Digital PMO, helps various client stakeholders, with Digital Road-map Execution and transparency, while providing accurate status of the Digital Transformation Program.
Digital PMO Framework:
The key challenge in adopting a digital PMO is the integration of new and legacy platforms that requires careful thought and planning, especially for the integration itself, protection, and security of data.
Digital Quantum offers it’s customers worldwide, a unique Digital PMO Framework (DPMOF), which is a proven Framework to set up a Digital PMO for any customer who is embarking in the journey of Digital Transformation.
We, at Digital Quantum follow the following steps, to form a Digital PMO needed to leverage technology in order to streamline project life-cycle management.
The real-time coordination, collaboration, and sourcing of project data has become vital, providing the transparency, intelligence, and decision-making capabilities to drive change and power transformation across the enterprise. If you’re considering the Digital PMO here, we at Digital Quantum, follow the below five key steps in order to make your digital PMO a success.
Organizations should be methodology agnostic
Software Development Methodologies (SDM) are critical for smooth delivery and execution of any Digital Transformation programs. Every organization follow, different SDM, some follow Waterfall, some of them follow Agile and most of them follow hybrid (mix of Agile & Waterfall) methodologies. It depends upon size and purpose of the Organization and their specific needs.
Having an open mindset regarding methodologies is crucial—being methodology agnostic or developing a blended approach. Many organizations err in assuming they can seamlessly apply an off-the-shelf methodology like PMBOK, Prince2, Agile, Lean, or Six Sigma directly into their project portfolio management without customization. While these methodologies are beneficial, tailoring each to suit your organization’s project environment is vital for success.
Organizations should Strive for a hybrid approach—melding a solid project management (PM) methodology with your internal procedures and organizational tools that best suit your needs. Achieving best practice PM isn’t instantaneous; it requires continual dedication. Learn from peer organizations’ experiences, seek guidance from your vendor, and explore international best practices, adapting them to suit your organizational structure and specific requirements.
Digital Quantum highly recommends to follow the Hybrid methodology, to implement any complex Digital Transformation.
Key is the Communication with your stakeholders
Managing large and complex Digital Transformation programs, require huge amount of communication with the key stakeholders like, Program Sponsors, CDO, CIO, CFO, Design Partners, Testing Partners, Product Vendors and IT and Business stake holders.
You need to communicate properly with your stakeholders. Sure projects will always be about being on time and on budget, but communicating with timely and informed project data is also a huge factor – in terms of progress, resource availability, and planning. We all know that with projects, the plan never works out. It’s all about being adaptable. You can only react intelligently if you have good project information easily to hand. It’s about re-invention – where we are consistently planning and re-planning.
People, process and technology
People play a crucial role in the success of any large & complex Digital Transformation undertaken by any organization. The transformation effects the organization at three levels - Business, Technology and People. The software solution has to work hand in hand with your people and your process. A solution cannot function effectively without the right people, buy-in from senior management – and in particular an influential project sponsor – and intelligent, flexible business processes.
Typically two out of three organizations that employ a PPM solution fail. It’s staggering. It’s invariably down to naivety. Your implementation has to be thought through, and critically you need a solution that is configurable to your business processes.
Project Selection - Vision & Mission of the Digital Transformation
To make a digital PMO work well, you need to have the right Vision & Mission of the Digital Transformation Project, which is defined by the CDO of the Organization and the commitment from all the key-Stakeholders (CIO/CTO/CFO) is important for the success of the Digital Transformation. These key stakeholders are the torchbearers to carry out the Mission & Vision of the Transformation down to each and every employee (Business & IT) of the Organization.
Digital PMO works once you have a tight handle on the deliverable s and resources. Digital PMO will work with each and every Project Member, Project Leaders of the Organization to come up with the Planning and further execution of the plan. More often, Digital Transformations fail due to the lack of ownership of the key stakeholders.
A Single version of the truth
Digital PMO provides a helicopter view of your organization’s project data. It provides that critical “single version of the truth” – it enables your project managers to drill down on project information at a glance to gain visibility of your projects, your programs, and more strategically at a portfolio level. They can pull together reports in seconds rather than days, allowing them to focus instead on value-added work and insights.
