EPMO Challenges and Needs
Strategic & Operational Level
Planning
• A wide variety of investment decisions to be made - need ‘apples to apples’ comparison
when making project selections
• High $ demand - Need to gain agreement on priorities
• Annual planning very time consuming – Need to reduce
• Confidence low about the $ return from projects – Need Consistent measurements
• Data for decision-making not trusted – Need for right information
• Many different and disconnected process and tools – Need for interfaces
• Used by many, inputs by few – need for simplicity and training

Project Manager Challenges and Needs
Operational/Tactical
Planning & Execution
• Different approaches to project management makes it tough to focus on projects at risk – Need
for consistency and commonality
• Improve estimating and managing cost – We all need this
• Execution over-runs – Need for realism in estimates
• Lack of trust in key project data impairs decisions – Need consistent
• Many different and disconnected process and tools – Need for Interfaces and doing what is
needed
• Same Data...different systems – Need to input data once and use the info by many
• One Stop Shopping – Need for one place to do it all
