LESS COMPLEX EPM MODEL

UMT introduces less complex EPM Model for fast interagation

Local enterprise project management (EPM) solution, UMT Consulting SA, has introduced a less complex Enterprise Project and Portfolio Management (EEPM) capability organisational maturity model, one that provides quicker integration and buy-in for strategy portfolio throughput tp program and project execution benefit realisation.

Capability maturity assessment os one of the tools consistently leveraged by EPPM practitioners in the creation of adoption roadmaps for organisations that are creating momentum for charge, with the objective of improving internal governance.
Historically, the problem has been addressed in parallel at the project prgram or portfolio levels, and in many cases the solutions devised have been independent of one another, potentially missing on integration aspects that could greatly improve overall results.

UMT Consulting SA CEO Pieter Meyer says pver the past couple of years, new methodologies that attempt to emcompass all three disciplines have been developed, including OPM3 from the PMI. These integrated EPPM methodologies have very logical frameworks, but they are also voluminous and typically difficult to put in practise in the field.

In order to optimise portfolio investments, organisations must move along the EPPM maturity cueve through the creation of momentum for change, and the adoption of key value-added processes, technology, and governance principles. The practical problem of methodologies like OPM3 lies in how complex it can be to derive a tailored implementation plan from such extensive sets of questions. Once an organisation starts down the path of resonding to vast questionnaires without an initial focus, it is easy to get lost in details, because some methodologies require responses to over five hundred questions.
