High Performance PMO

PMO is for portfolio & program management. allows the PMO manager to effectively manage goals, collaborations, commitments and investments in a goal-oriented multi-project environment.


PMO can aggregate information from individual projects to it in real-time

Governance & Policies

A PMO often needs to enforce certain policies and rules in order to make its monitoring and control across multiple projects effective. is a policy-driven system which allows selective policy enforcement in project planning and execution and it offers a rich set of configurable policies and controls for the following areas and these policies and controls can be structured according to enterprise-level, program-level and project-level requirements:

  • Goals & critical success factors
  • Scope control & phase measure
  • Time & resource control
  • Cost classification & control
  • Review & acceptance process
  • Quality control
  • Outstanding issue control
  • Change control
  • Procurement control
  • Earned value measure
  • Communication, alert & escalation rules


Besides providing the effective policy mechanism for measurement and control, also provides anonymous Reality Check to find out people's perception of the healthiness of the program or project and collect useful information for maintaining the healthiness of the program or project.

Project Request & Prioritization

Multi-project or program management will become more predictable if project requests and prioritization are properly managed. provides the Project Request feature to allow the requesting party and the responsible committee to properly communicate, investigate and assess cost-benefit, risk and impact before doing the final prioritization.

Since prioritization needs multidimensional assessments from cost-benefit, key resource availability and risk management points of view, provides the Investment Attention functionality to allow the management team to look at new project requests and existing projects as the big picture to make proper assessments, trade-offs and prioritization.

After the new project requests have been approved and become official projects, Investment Attention can also continue monitoring planned schedule vs. actual progress, risks and planned ROI vs. actual ROI.

Multi-project Structured Collaboration

The project and program-oriented collaboration capability can make the success or failure difference for multi-project or program management. provides the foundation for individual and group coordination and interaction and its major project and program-oriented collaboration functions are described as follows:

  • Functional, project and program-oriented organization management
  • Common language for request, commit, deliver and accept for project and program deliverables
  • Group, committee and site coordination and management

Multi-Project Critical Success Factors (CSF) Management

The designers of understood the importance of the intangible factors that affect project and program success tremendously and designed built-in functionality in for managing these critical success factors (CSF). The built-in functionality will help project and program managers to understand where they are falling short on the important but sometimes not very easy to detect factors.


allows project and program managers to select the critical success factors suitable for their environment. also intelligently consolidates the top factors for success and the top factors for failure so that the program and project managers will only need to concentrate to deal with only a few key factors. For example, can consolidate below to come only 5 factors that will need attention most:


Top 5 Factors for Success:

  • User involvement
  • Executive support
  • Clear statement of requirements
  • Proper planning
  • Realistic expectations


Top 10 Factors for Failure:

  • Incomplete requirements
  • Lack of user involvement
  • Lack of resources
  • Unrealistic expectations
  • Lack of executive support
  • Changing requirements & specs
  • Lack of planning
  • Didn't Lack of IT management
  • Technical incompetence


The key for managing the few important factors effectively is knowing how to measure these factors which are hard to measure. The measurement will help the program and project managers to see where they are falling short and can utilize their knowledge of the environment and problem-solving skills to enhance the situation. Without the measurement, most of the time program and project managers aren’t even aware of the fact that they are falling short in some of the important areas.

Multi-Project Business Map

provides the Business Map to allow the program manager to monitor all the projects in her program on 1 screen. Business Map also allows the executive to view all programs and projects in the entire enterprise on 1 screen. The information reflected on the business map is aggregated from the lowest level transactions (e.g., request, deliver, accept) to the highest level in real-time and therefore the information is not only instantaneous, but can be drilled down in real-time for details. Using , the deliverables can only be completed/accepted on the platform, therefore, the information reflected in Business Map is accurate, precise and agile.


Business Map allows the top of the organization to understand the middle and lowest parts of the organization and also provides the visibility for the middle and lowest parts to shine though with their good performance. The clear, instantaneous and reliable information is to keep people honest so that everyone would be focusing on problem-solving and producing rather than politicking.

In combination with ’s other add-on modules, the PMO Business Map can become the Enterprise Business Map which allows executives to monitor the performance of various business portfolios and projects in the enterprise. The change after the add-on isn’t the basic functionality of the business map but the orientation is toward specific business.


Like the PMO Business Map, the Enterprise Business Map allows the top of the organization to understand the middle and lowest parts of the organization and also provides the visibility for the middle and lowest parts to shine though with their good performance. The clear, instantaneous and reliable information is to keep people honest so that everyone would be focusing on problem-solving and producing rather than politicking.

Executives will have the capabilities to effectively sponsor projects
and train managers in modern project management.
Streamline management. Boost productivity. Grow confidently.
