Project Management Office

The Project Management Office (PMO) concept has been employed in financial institutions for quite some time, but has not always been accepted organizationally or functionally. To be successful a PMO must be part of an integrated management process, both in strategic and tactical senses, and be championed by a firm’s executive team.

S&A regularly assists financial services companies to launch PMOs in a variety of operating modes and to ensure their ongoing development and effectiveness. Basing PMO design on accepted industry methodologies and certification programs, S&A provides experienced support for banks to ensure the PMO is fully employed in managing projects across the entire organization, functioning as the source of documentation, guidance and metrics for executive level tracking and reporting.
