Veteran Ingenuity and Experience
The Roadmap itself was invented by Tony Proctor, a veteran PMO expert with a deep understanding of the challenges organizations face when scaling their PMOs. Motivated by the need to create a solution that adapts to each department’s pace, Tony designed the Roadmap to deliver value incrementally—empowering teams to adopt the right features at the right time as they progress through each phase.

By automating manual processes and consolidating tools, the Roadmap delivers measurable results. From reducing operational costs to streamlining reporting and resource management, it ensures your PMO operates efficiently and effectively.
Our Approach: A Roadmap to Success
Many organizations struggle with outdated assumptions about how to implement or mature their PMOs. At The Ultimate PMO Roadmap, we’ve designed an approach that directly addresses these challenges, offering practical and proven solutions that deliver results.2
| Typical Assumption | Our Approach |
|---|---|
| PMO Leader: Train everyone at once and start with your highest-profile projects. | We start with your most skilled project managers and schedulers to build a foundation of efficiency, reliability, and trust. From there, adoption expands as schedules and skills are refined. |
| CFO: You won’t see a portfolio until every team is onboarded. | Your portfolio is visible from day one, with initial data from the groups and teams we’re working with. As adoption expands, so does the depth and breadth of data—giving leadership actionable insights early on. |
| PMO Manager: Roll out every feature across the organization all at once. | We focus on delivering reliable schedules first—up-to-date and timely—so teams build confidence in the system. Collaboration, issue tracking, and other features evolve naturally as teams adapt. |
| Operations Leader: Use separate tools for task management, vacation/PTO tracking, cost management, and reporting. | The Roadmap consolidates everything—schedules, risks, issues, costs, resources, and even vacation tracking—into a unified Microsoft O365 environment. Communication and collaboration happen seamlessly through Microsoft Teams, keeping everyone connected. |
