Programs sustain business missions to achieve their ongoing results through operations that can be continually quality improved. Projects are often used to make singular improvements in capability, achieving an outcome within constraints of time, investment and quality of scope. Projects often place significant pressure on programs due to operating at a pace that may not be coordinated with the program support they need. Programs supporting projects are often frustrated with the unusual expectations for unique results in unreasonable timeframes. Projects are often frustrated that business needs are not fully reflected in requirements at project initiation and changes are expected with no adjustment in constraints. In truth, programs and projects need to coexist to make each other successful.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1482\" aria-expanded=\"false\">The Solution<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1482\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1482\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Programs survive in today\u2019s market based on their ability to rapidly change their capability and performance through projects.

On larger projects, the project managers may get overwhelmed and not be able to complete projects due to the level of tracking and reporting required. From the start, estimates are inconsistent and rarely accurate, costs don\u2019t seem to get reflected in the project cost profile, and schedules are not used as a management tool. The aggregate value of risks, issues, and changes cannot be determined easily; and, the quality of project results is highly variable. Furthermore, resource assignments are rarely stable, contract assistance is not managed well, and changes are approved at levels without authority. Without the services to help projects establish consistency, project performance will likely remain mired.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2342\" aria-expanded=\"false\"> The Approach<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2342\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2342\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Projects cannot be responsible for consistency outside of their unique requirements; this is the job of management. Since not all managers are well versed in project management, they need help to establish and maintain competencies to use projects effectively. Gradual standards and services can help projects be more consistent across all knowledge areas. Using a PMO to establish gradual capability based on organization priorities makes sense because the capability becomes intellectual capital. Finally, avoid doing too much too fast; people must learn many techniques and projects cannot adopt many new practices without impact.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2343\" aria-expanded=\"false\">The Solution<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2343\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2343\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Organizations increasingly depend upon projects to deliver internal changes intended to achieve business performance benefits, or to deliver results to their clients. Project competencies must become key capabilities that can be depended upon. Project success is driven by both project level performance and organization level governance of projects. To add consistency to governance, standards in reporting and measurement can help significantly in providing decision information. To add consistency to projects, standards in project management knowledge areas are highly effective. This is the initial power of the PMO \u2013 to establish an appropriate control environment for progress. As PMO maturity builds, it grows to building competencies across the dimensions of capability required for consistently delivering the planned value for project investments.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2344\" aria-expanded=\"false\">  The Benefits<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2344\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2344\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Appropriate use of a PMO has resulted in many benefits. Project results become much more predictable for organization investments. Leaders are able to make decisions since information readily available. Consistency improves with published standards. Resource waste is significantly reduced. The business regains confidence in the ability to deliver a quality product. Turnover lowers due to higher team esteem and success. Training and competency management are focused for PM skills. Knowledge, guidelines and templates are available to aid consistency. Interdependency is tracked and managed to avoid impact. In all, the PMO services received pay big dividends in making investments deliver on their business case.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ead4a1d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ead4a1d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b1befb8\" data-id=\"b1befb8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c3691a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8c3691a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Build Competencies for Knowledge & Reuse<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-83361b7 elementor-tabs-view-horizontal elementor-widget elementor-widget-tabs\" data-id=\"83361b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tabs.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1371\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1371\" aria-expanded=\"false\"> The Challenge<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1372\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1372\" aria-expanded=\"false\"> The Approach<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1373\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1373\" aria-expanded=\"false\">The Solution<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1374\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1374\" aria-expanded=\"false\">  The Benefits<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-content-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1371\" aria-expanded=\"false\"> The Challenge<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1371\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1371\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"false\"><p>Organizations often reinvent the ability to perform activity due to lack of competency in knowledge and reuse practices.

Commonly, operational units have no capacity to respond to unique requests larger than traditional operational needs. It is not unusual for projects to fail due to lack of support from enterprise infrastructure units, especially when operational emergencies, project unknowns and other surprises combine to place needs well beyond means. The mismatch in expectations between projects and programs leads to requests that are seldom clear enough and are time consuming to accommodate. When challenged with urgency of need, managers often support the wrong priorities due to lack of information and insufficient capacity.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-6602\" aria-expanded=\"false\"> The Approach<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-6602\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-6602\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><div class=\"wpb_row vc_row vc_row-fluid mk-fullwidth-true attched-false vc_custom_1574814928805 js-master-row mk-in-viewport\"><div class=\"mk-grid\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container _ height-full\"><div id=\"mk-tabs-37\" class=\"mk-tabs mobile-true simple-style js-el\" data-mk-component=\"Tabs\"><div class=\"mk-tabs-panes page-bg-color\"><div id=\"1475775392510-3-8\" class=\"mk-tabs-pane is-active\"><div class=\"mk-tabs-pane-content\"><div id=\"text-block-40\" class=\"mk-text-block \"><p>Capacity planning is one of the most basic management tools.

Only leadership can ensure this gap is closed to manage initiatives in ways that ensure outcomes are understood. Roles inside and outside the project must be understood and the gaps between role performance areas need to be filled collaboratively. Expectations must be reasonable and governance must be in place to control projects to required outcomes, not just detailed requirements.

The rate of change makes projects more and more important to business capability generation. Program management is not used to the level of uncertainty that exists early in projects. Expectations are that estimates (often with confidence levels in the 50% range) will be delivered with 100% fidelity. The level of control required by programs seems to encourage making decisions that may be harmless in a program execution mode, but extremely harmful in a project mode; so, it is critical to ensure projects provide as much information about the uncertain as the certain when reporting, to facilitate an organization\u2019s success in delivering projects. Practicing the nine Project Management Institute knowledge areas is not bad, but there are significant gaps in this information for what large projects need to succeed.

With proactive planning, a large vendor will not overwhelm the client. Proactive readiness of client personnel avoids many events that could cause significant cost and schedule impact. Maintaining performance data and records act as a shock absorber to placing blame on the client. Formal complaints are met with respectful responses and requests for explanation of performance omissions. Adversarial relationships are avoided by providing information openly to the vendor at the time of collection, enhancing the probability of success for all. Integrator oversight lapses are buffered with independent observation. In the end, the client organization reputation remains intact and control of cost and schedule lead to vendor acknowledgement of responsibilities. The control benefits far outweigh the cost of typical problems encountered in large projects.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-dffc0af elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"dffc0af\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-931ba3b\" data-id=\"931ba3b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b910f9e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b910f9e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Program & Project Management Client Samples<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1dd7bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c1dd7bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Caltrans | Caltrans Web Accessibility for All (CWAA)<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-820889f elementor-tabs-view-horizontal elementor-widget elementor-widget-tabs\" data-id=\"820889f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"tabs.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1361\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1361\" aria-expanded=\"false\"> The Challenge<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1362\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1362\" aria-expanded=\"false\">The Solution<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1363\" class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-desktop-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1363\" aria-expanded=\"false\">  The Benefits<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tabs-content-wrapper\" role=\"tablist\" aria-orientation=\"vertical\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"true\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1361\" aria-expanded=\"false\"> The Challenge<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1361\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1361\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"false\"><p>Caltrans shares transportation information online that is critical to California\u2019s safety and economy.
