State IT PMO Methodology
Concept
Provide an orderly and efficient approach to reviewing and judging the merit of the new project idea before significant resources are committed to a project, ensuring that resources only get allocated to worthwhile projects.
Initiation & Planning
Define and plan the project. Identify and kick off a cross-functional project team to define the detailed scope and requirements for the project, plan and estimate the work and cost involved , make trade-offs as necessary, and commit to an agreed-upon balance among scope, time(schedule), and costs that will meet customers' goals.
Execution & Monitoring
Create and assess the project's key deliverables. Perform cross-functional work and thoroughly review all deliverables as they are developed. Monitor project progress, deal with issues, and communication to team management and stakeholders. Review and test deliverables and get customer feedback and approval.
Delivery & Closeout
Transfer the deliverables to and finish the project. Ensure the deliverables are ready to support the customers. Close out the project by capturing lessons learned, reward team members, handing off archiving project materials, and releasing team members for other projects.
