At PL Projects, we have been working with a client to establish a central Portfolio level Management Office (PfMO) to better track and manage projects as they undertook a large-scale digital transformation. We conducted a gap analysis that allowed us to highlight these priority areas which were scheduled to be addressed within the first year. Our client was an international business, so supporting them with the right technologies was crucial. Alongside ensuring the right processes and guidance were put in place we utilised a tool they already had in place to build out a full PPM solution using Smartsheet, underpinned by a SharePoint hub area that allowed us to set up and track business change for our client.
The result was a consolidated set of processes that allowed all areas of the business to engage with and comment on progress using real-time collaboration. By using this new improved technology, it was also useful to for highlighting the ‘pain points’ of the system which could then be addressed.
PL Projects have been working with the Client for two years now and have been adding more capability to their PfMO year on year. The feedback from the Client has been wholly positive, and it has allowed PL Projects to explore how specialist project controls can work with different organisations and how building a bespoke PPM system is sometimes preferential over off the shelf solutions.
