Sometimes project or program offices are initially successful, only to lose their relevance as goals change. When this happens Optimize! uses a proven 5 stage process improvement approach that combines the best of Lean Six Sigma and PMBOK® practices. This approach entails evaluating a client’s existing delivery management systems against the organization's current needs and industry best practices. Optimize! then develops a strategy and delivers an improvement project aimed at returning the project or program office to a value-add status.

Define Stage:

Optimize! reviews the current state of project delivery against business objectives, strategy and best practices to identify the existing gaps and clarify the improvement project’s business case and scope

Measure Stage:

Optimize! identifies the ways in which the current project delivery system’s efficacy is measured, the source and adequacy of the performance data, and the improvement project’s success criteria.

Analyze Stage:

Optimize! evaluates the current project delivery system’s state and defines the resources, activities and risks involved in improving its operation

Improve Stage:

Optimize! delivers the changes within the project’s scope and integrates the new PMO’s practices into the environment.

Control Stage:

Optimize! implements a continuous improvement approach to the project delivery system’s ongoing management and officially closes the project.
