PROJECT, PORTFOLIO & PROGRAMME SUPPORT OFFICE

Increasingly organisations are adopting Project & Programme Support Offices (PPSO) to support the management of organisational programmes and projects. Whether it be a ‘virtual’ project office or a ‘manned’ project office Rational Management can help identify the PPSO model appropriate to the organisation’s project management requirements.

Rational Management can then assist with the ‘set up’ and ‘running’ of Project & Programme Support Offices. Our PPSO support services include:

• Identifying a PPSO’s Terms of Reference

• Advising on the selection and implementation of project management information and control software

• Providing Project and Programme Coordinators
• Set up and maintenance of project and programme schedules
• Change management approaches to assist with the implementation of project & programme management
• Auditing of existing project control systems
• ‘Health Check’ of existing project management processes against PRINCE2™
• Ensuring that PPSO’s are PRINCE2™ compliant
