Enterprise Tool Training
An integral part of any PMO is a centralized tool suite, most commonly, enterprise tool suites from Oracle Primavera, Deltek and Microsoft. These tools enable the PMO to create a central repository of all projects within an organization, often termed as a single source of truth for project information. These enterprise project management tools also offer extensive reporting and portfolio management capabilities.
Software Tools Issues We Often See When Implementing PMO
- Each project manager is using the tools in his/her own way and is not adhering to any corporate standard, making it difficult or impossible to get aggregated and summarized information.
- It’s impossible to understand how resources are being utilized.
- If tools are deployed centrally, individual styles and abilities often preclude getting the best from the tools. This puts any project management software implementation at risk because of user frustration born out of incomplete understanding of the tools and standards.
- User adoption is low due to lack of emphasis on change management combined with an incomplete approach to training end users.
- Training offered is often generic and taught by individuals who have not used the tools to actually build schedules and manage projects in the organizations environment.
Part of a PMO implementation, and a significant part of its ongoing role, typically requires the PMO to provide carefully designed and well-managed tools deployment and training in these enterprise tool suites.
