Government Enterprise Project & Portfolio Management
Centralize government project, portfolio, resource, financial and control information for PMO decision visibility.
Para designed and piloted a centralized enterprise project and portfolio management environment covering projects, portfolios, schedules, resources and time, financial information, risks, issues, changes, demand governance, role-based security and executive dashboards.
Business challenge
- Project and portfolio information needed a centralized governance model.
- Demand, resources, financials, risks, issues and changes required shared visibility.
- Executives and PMO stakeholders needed consistent status, KPI and utilization reporting.
Para approach
- Define PPM business requirements and the operating model.
- Configure portfolio and demand governance.
- Enable project lifecycle, schedule, resource and time management.
- Capture project financial and control information.
- Design role-based security and executive dashboards.
