The PMO uses a wide variety of tools and templates to professionally manage the complex projects within the portfolio. However, we recognize that projects of any size and complexity can benefit from certain standard project management tools.
| Template | Purpose |
|---|---|
| A project charter creates clear, uniform expectations for projects and anticipates obstacles that could reduce project success. It represents a thorough project summary to which all project stakeholders can agree. | |
| This is a tool to track risks, action items, issues, and decisions within a project | |
| A RACI chart, or responsibility assignment matrix, is a project management tool that defines roles and responsibilities for project tasks, milestones and deliverables. | |
| A checklist that contains a list of general checks and controls to ensure that projects meet quality standards. This list is primarily used for technology projects, like software implementations. | |
| Guidelines that the project team follows to make sure that the project launch goes as planned and that any problems that come up after the launch are addressed. | |
| This helps structure our project close-out meetings, so we can capture and learn from what went well and what could have been better. |
