System 02

PMO Systems

A project management office that reports the truth on Tuesday, without three people spending Monday assembling it.

The problem

Most portfolio reporting is archaeology.

By the time a status report reaches a steering committee it describes a situation that is two weeks old and has been rounded upward at every level it passed through.

We rebuild the reporting layer so status is drawn from where the work actually happens rather than from what people type into a template. Risks surface when they emerge, not when somebody is brave enough to write them down.

The project management office stops being a reporting function and becomes an early warning one.

What it covers

Four capabilities.

Delivered alongside impact+ where the engagement also involves designing the project management office itself rather than only its systems.

01

Live portfolio status

Drawn from source systems and delivery evidence rather than self-reported percentages.

02

Risk and issue surfacing

Patterns flagged as they emerge, with the escalation path already defined.

03

Governance packs

Steering committee material assembled automatically, in the format your governance already uses.

04

Benefits tracking

What the programme was approved to deliver, measured against what it has actually delivered.
