PMO and Project Management

Project managers and an outsourced project office for your technology projects: development, Microsoft, cloud or integrations, delivered by Itequia or by third parties.

THE STARTING POINT
Technology projects don't fail because of the technology
They fail because of how they are planned, coordinated and controlled. The challenge is one of management, not of tooling.
WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Projects that drag on out of control
- No one with real dedication to managing the project
- Scope grows without measuring its impact on schedule and cost
- Business, IT and vendors, each going their own way
- Risks are discovered when they are already problems
- Management doesn't know the real status of the project
Result: delays, cost overruns and worn-out teams
WITH ITEQUIA'S PMO
Projects managed from start to finish
- A dedicated project manager and a single point of contact
- Scope, plan and budget agreed, with change control
- Business, IT and vendors coordinated in a single plan
- Risks and issues managed before they block progress
- Regular reporting to the committee and to management
Result: projects delivered on time, on budget and on scope

Your methodology and tool, or ours · Full-time or part-time profiles · Itequia or third-party projects.
Every project, under control in four dimensions
With managers who know the technology: they detect deviations and risks sooner.
SCHEDULE
Will we make the date?
Milestones, critical path and deviations detected in time.
COST
Are we still on budget?
Actual versus baseline: internal team, vendors and licenses.
SCOPE
Are we doing what was agreed?
Change control: nothing gets in without assessing its impact on schedule and cost.
RISKS
What could go wrong?
Risks and issues with an owner, mitigation plan and date.
MANAGERS WITH A TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
They speak the teams' language
Our project managers have managed development, Microsoft, cloud and integration projects.
- They understand technical teams and vendors
- They know when an estimate doesn't hold up
ARCHITECTS WHEN NEEDED
Technical decisions made with judgment
If a technical decision constrains the project, we bring in Itequia architects or specialists on a part-time basis.
- Without sizing a permanent team
- To assess alternatives before deciding
PMO: prioritizing the portfolio, value × effort
With the project office, demand is ordered using explicit criteria.

Who meets and when
- Weekly follow-up: progress, issues and actions with the team and vendors
- Monthly steering committee: with the sponsor and key users
- Quarterly management committee: in PMO mode, portfolio progress and priorities
- Your tool or ours: Jira, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Project or other
Indicators
- Progress: milestones met versus plan
- Schedule and cost: actual versus baseline, per project

- Risks and decisions: what is blocking and who has to decide
