Tawuniya PMO department as part of Strategy division was established to govern the business transformation initiatives from the steering committee which comprises of Board of Directors and top executives. PMO team was relying on manual and people dependent process to execute the project management methodology. This was time consuming and error prone, thereby costing customer, considering the criticality of projects managed by the PMO department.

  • Business cases received as part of project demand management process was not evaluated against company business drivers and hence selection of projects to execute was not aligned with corporate strategy penned down by board of directors.

  • Approval process at different stages of project life cycle was manual and hence long turnaround times.

  • PMO and Project Managers were using MS Project for schedule management but did not have a centralized solution to publish and share schedule to other stake holders and team members

  • Project artifacts and documents were not stored centrally, did not have document collaboration capabilities like co-authoring, versioning, and access management.
