Project Office
RedHouse Technology has observed that companies that employ
a Project Based Organizational model, enjoy many benefits
and advantages including the ability to maintain control in
a complex business environment. Having a structured approach
requires specific processes for project managers to follow,
and a standardized toolkit to support them. A central
Project Office provides such a structure, with resources
available to support the individual project teams, as well
as the manage and report on the overall project portfolio.
Implementing a Project Office creates an environment and
infrastructure through which project, program and portfolio
management is facilitated and controlled. Assessing the
level of project activity and the maturity of the project
management capabilities within your organization will
determine the approach taken to create a Project Office to
support your organization.
Introducing the Correct Solution
RedHouse Technology provides a range of services that
include project office design, project office
implementation, and project office health checks. These are
complimentary services but have been designed to apply
either stand-alone or as a series of consultancy services.
This ensures that our clients are provided with the solution
that suits their individual requirements. RedHouse
Technology has identified 3 levels of Project Office that
can be developed with client organizations:
- Project Office which manages and runs the day to day
administration of projects, facilitates governance and
control activities
- Program Office which manages and controls portfolios
of projects within a business unit. Operates like the
project office but views operations from a consolidated
summary level
- Enterprise Program Office which focuses on operations
that are in the strategic vision, giving transparency at CEO
level.
All engagements incorporate aspects of the following:
- Tools and Process Management
- Project Reporting & Analysis
- Project Administration
- Data and Document Management
Depending on the environment to be supported, additional
supplementary services can be added to suit individual
requirements. The supplementary services may include:
- Risk & Issue Management
- Quality Management
- Project Finance
- Training & Mentoring
- Dependency Management
- Project Planning
- Resource Management
- Project Procurement
Project Office Health Checks
Project Office Health Checks have been developed by
RedHouse Technology to provide an objective assessment of
the level and suitability of services provided by an
established Project Office. To perform a comprehensive
assessment, our consultant will perform a combination of
documentation reviews, process observation and structured
interviews with project sponsors, project managers and
Project Office personnel. The detailed report will focus on
areas of strength that should be continued and enhanced,
recommendations on areas that require development, and new
services to be introduced.
In addition to these recommendations, a customized
implementation plan will be provided, outlining our
suggested approach for achieving the desired level of
Project Office service.
