PMO Kick-Starter
84 days to a live, governing PMO.
People, process and technology deployed together. Our specialists help you design a framework fit for your business, then hand it over running.
Week 1
Kick-off and discovery
We map how decisions get made today, where they stall, and who holds authority over what.
In the room: PMO lead, your executive sponsor
You keep: Current-state governance assessment
Week 2
Portfolio mapping
Every project in flight is catalogued, sized and given an owner, including the ones nobody had written down.
In the room: PMO lead, your project managers
You keep: Complete portfolio register
Week 3
Governance framework
Decision rights, forums and meeting cadence agreed and documented, so the rhythm has somewhere to live.
In the room: PMO lead, executive sponsor
You keep: Agreed governance model
Week 4
Stage-gate design
Your five-stage model defined with gate criteria and deliverables, shaped around how your organisation already works.
In the room: PMO lead, nominated gatekeepers
You keep: Stage-gate framework
Week 5
Platform configuration
Roadmapp configured to the agreed model: stages, criteria, templates, roles and notification rules.
In the room: Implementation consultant
You keep: Configured environment
Week 6
Data load
Live portfolio, people, allocations and budgets loaded, so the platform opens on real work rather than samples.
In the room: Consultant, your PMO administrator
You keep: Populated platform
Week 7
Role-based training
Project managers, gatekeepers and executives trained separately, because each of them needs a different half of it.
In the room: Trainer, all user groups
You keep: Trained team
Week 8
Dry run
A full health-check cycle run end to end against real projects, with us watching for where it snags.
In the room: PMO lead, project managers
You keep: First RAG baseline
Week 9
First gate review
A real gate decision submitted, reviewed and rendered by your own gatekeepers, with us alongside.
In the room: Gatekeepers, PMO lead
You keep: First logged gate decision
Week 10
First portfolio review
Your governance forum runs on live data, with the pack generated from the platform instead of assembled by hand.
In the room: Executive sponsor, PMO
You keep: First board pack
Week 11
Embedded support
We stay alongside your team through a second full cycle, tuning the process on what the first cycle showed rather than what the framework assumed.
In the room: PMO lead, your PMO administrator
You keep: Revised operating rhythm
Week 12
Transition to BAU
Ownership transfers to your team and the ongoing support model is agreed. The PMO keeps running without us in the room.
In the room: Everyone
You keep: A PMO operating as business as usual
