280.0 PMO Products and Services

This section contains explanations on many of the common and more advanced products and services that a PMO can offer. It is a good idea to go over these areas with the customer so that they have a broader perspective of the kinds of things that PMOs can do. If you don’t the customer may not identify these areas as a part of the Gap Analysis – not because the work is not valid, but because the customer does not have knowledge that this is work that a PMO can perform. 

The following areas are considered to be basic products and services that PMOs typically offer.

Some of these areas could be started sooner, but some cannot be started until there is some history using the new processes.
