Comprehensive Project Management Solutions

Project management isn’t just about managing the triple constraint of a project – scope, schedule and budget. It’s also about leading by example with “soft skills” such as professionalism, creativity, and emotional intelligence. 

At Intellitech Consulting, our project managers are team leaders who set the tone for collaboration. They take time to establish strong working relationships and strive to become trusted advisors to their clients. 

All of our experts are certified, draw from a wide variety of industry experience and subject matter expertise. They can bring our proprietary toolkit of vetted best practices, processes and templates to solve your needs or adopt the toolset already in place within the Project Management Office. 

Intellitech Consulting has the flexibility and talent to provide long and short term resources to accommodate your needs.

PMO Deployment, Operation and Optimization

Organizations continue to be challenged with the consistent delivery of clearly-defined project management processes, resource planning, forecasting, and other business demands. A well-managed PMO can address these challenges ensuring successful project delivery. We work with clients when they need to deploy a new PMO, operate the current PMO, or optimize an existing PMO to meet a set of evolving challenges, functions, and services.

Deploying

Deploying a PMO requires an assessment of the current environment and development of a deployment roadmap which incorporates your organization’s culture and operating practices. We will work with you to identify, prioritize, and establish a set of fundamental PMO functions and services. Deployment includes establishing governance standards, developing the PMO Toolkit, identifying resource needs and performance measures, incorporating the right amount of repeatable delivery processes to fit your culture, and improving the competencies of your staff through training and mentoring. The emphasis is on developing a PMO capable of providing an organizational entity focus towards improving portfolio management.

Operational

If Operational project management is not a core competency, consider outsourcing the PMO. Intellitech Consulting works in partnership with you to understand your goals, evaluate current PMO maturity and will subsidize as required. Or, if preferred, can utilize our customizable toolkit of proven techniques and methodologies.

Optimization

Optimization will take your PMO to the next level to meet the increasing challenge of providing additional value the organization. To meet business demands, projects must be completed faster and cheaper, the business wants more transparency and the organization looks to the PMO to optimize project resources. We can help your organization rise to the challenge.

To take your PMO to the next level, Intellitech Consulting will first review and evaluate your existing PMO structure, and provide recommendations targeted to enhance it. We will develop a transformational roadmap, identifying areas of opportunity, and will collaboratively with you create an implementation plan for deployment. Common areas of focus for this type of transformation may include enhanced visibility, level of PM competency evaluation, portfolio resource optimization, demand management of both project and operations work, and facilitating organizational change. PMOs offering this level of service govern with a senior management focus on strategic issues and facilitate change across the organization.

PMO Structure & Staffing

Let Intellitech Consulting help you right-size your PMO based on portfolio size and level of project management maturity within your organization. This will determine:

  • Staff required to execute projects effectively.
  • The competency of your project managers.
  • Professional development programs.
  • The project management culture.
  • Job descriptions, delineation of roles and responsibilities.

Project Review & Recovery

Achieve Greater Project Performance with Value, Delivery, Capability and Maturity

With so much at stake, fast action is the key to avoiding losses associated with project failures. Intellitech Consulting project recovery experts begin with an assessment reviewing the project’s current state to identify the areas in jeopardy – issues with scope, resource availability/capability, roles/responsibilities and project monitoring/controlling.

Intellitech Consulting will present our findings distinguishing accomplishments to date yet identifying major issues that caused the project or portfolio to deviate from planned outcomes. A corrective plan is provided as part of this presentation. Once the plan is accepted by the organization, our recovery experts will lead the turnaround initiative, or you may choose to have us mentor your project team through the recovery process.

Top 5 Actions Taken to Recover Projects

Action 1 - Improving communication, stakeholder management
Action 2 - Redefining the project- reducing the scope, re-justifying the project financially
Action 3 - Adding and/or removing resources
Action 4 - Resolving problematic technical issues
Action 5 - Replacing the project manager or bringing in a consultant to manage recovery

Project Management Mentors

Intellitech Consulting’s mentors work closely with your project personnel to build project management competency while ensuring successful execution of projects. Our mentors actively participate in projects to ensure standards adoption and help provide a comfortable transition when deploying new processes, practices, and templates. This type of personalized knowledge transfer from experienced resources encourages the development of competencies more easily gained through example, guided learning, and hands-on practice.

Ways Mentors Can Help

  • Coach staff in project management processes, methods, and best practices to accelerate adoption.
  • Review the status of projects in the portfolio and make recommendations for improved execution through the coaching and mentoring of project managers.
  • Conduct project health checks to identify issues in a timely manner and assist team members in taking appropriate corrective actions when necessary.
  • Foster collaborative working relationships and develop a community of project management practitioners.
  • Fill in for an extended period of time during an unexpected absence of the project or program manager.

Project Management Maturity Advancement

What is the right level of maturity for your organization? We work with our clients to assess the current level of maturity, develop an achievable improvement plan, and help keep momentum by supporting the execution and measurement of the recommended improvements.

Project Management Maturity Assessment

Intellitech Consulting begins by assessing your organization’s current project delivery capability and project management maturity level. We then evaluate your current maturity level versus your desired future level and the targeted areas in which your investments should be focused in order to advance.

Improvement Plan 

Results from the Assessment are used to develop specific recommendations and a sequenced roadmap that provides realistic milestones for short and long-term improvement activities.

Ongoing Support to Deploy “The Plan”

Intellitech Consulting provides you with guidance and implementation support to collaboratively deploy the recommendations.

PM Maturity Re-Assessment 

A key element of our approach is to re-assess maturity once improvements are made in order to highlight advancements achieved.
