Program Management Office (PMO) Support Services

Technatomy with its implementation of CMMI Capability Level 3 and ISO 9001:2000 Quality Assurance Program and its membership to the Project Management Institute has a well established Program and Project Management Methodology. Additionally, Technatomy supports PMP(®) certifications of its project managers.

Project management process encompasses some key concepts about the planning, monitoring and control of a project. Technatomy applies recognized project management methods and techniques which can be organized into five groups of one or more processes each:

• Initiating processes - recognizing that a project or phase should begin and committing to do so
• Planning processes - devising and maintaining a workable scheme to accomplish the business need that the project was undertaken to address
• Executing processes - coordinating people and other resources to carry out the plan
• Controlling processes - ensuring that the project objectives are met by monitoring and measuring progress and taking corrective action when necessary
• Closing processes - formalizing acceptance of the project or phase and bringing it to an orderly conclusion

The process groups are linked by the results they produce - the result or outcome of one becomes an input to another. The links are iterated - planning provides executing with a documented project plan early on, and then provides documented updates to the plan as the project progresses. In addition, the project management process groups are not discrete, one-time events; they are overlapping activities which occur at varying levels of intensity throughout each phase of a software/system development life cycle.
