PMO / VMO transformation
Move the PMO from producing reports to improving the speed and quality of decisions.
The situation
The PMO spends most of its time collecting status data. Processes and templates have grown without a clear purpose, and portfolio decisions are made without a clear view of value.
What it costs
- Leadership hears about risks late
- IT carries cost without showing its contribution
- Unused capacity and licence overlap stay hidden
How we approach it
We review current PMO services, roles and processes, then redesign the operating model, governance and reporting around the decisions leadership must make. Where IT needs to show value, we move from a project-centred PMO to a Value Management Office.

“PMO Garage team did an amazing job setting up our project management practice. We were able to migrate a very dysfunctional PMO to a modern, well-established VMO in less than 3 months.”
