SAP Program Management Services

A SAP Program Management Office (PMO) gives organizations the ability to achieve consistently successful results across their entire portfolio of projects; creating a foundation that can turn project management into a competitive advantage. Whether your organization is just beginning to explore the benefits of a formal PMO, or your existing PMO is not achieving the results management has intended, Platinum PMO can help take your PMO to the next level.

I take a business-centric approach and include the operational readiness as well as the technology readiness work streams in all our project plans. This means that I include business process definition, end-user training, and organization re-design in addition to SAP configuration and development, testing and infrastructure readiness.

I consider the unique needs and corporate culture of each of our clients and work quickly to create a framework that is most appropriate for meeting the challenges at hand. I draw on elements of several well-known toolsets including ASAP/Activate, Agile, PMBOK, Six Sigma and Theory of Constraints. I leverage these methodologies and tailor your PMO to manage:

  • Cost-benefit analysis
  • Project evaluation/ Demand management
  • Human capital planning
  • Communication management
  • Risk management
  • Quality management
  • Cost management
  • Earned value management
  • Procurement/Vendor management
  • Schedule management
  • Scope management
  • Time management
  • Integration management

I have a proven track record when it comes to managing complex enterprise programs. I am adept at managing large, dispersed teams and sorting out interdependent timelines and resource requirements. I couple deep business expertise with broad technology awareness. My first task is working with your executive team to define an appropriate PMO roadmap. This roadmap must then be translated into a series of actionable initiatives and a high level deliverable plan. At that point, the interdependencies can be identified and I work with individual project teams to define project plans that can be tracked against a standardized set of work products.

From the Preparation through the Sustain phase, I support my clients in achieving program success.
