Project Management as a Service- The Future of PM Consulting

What is Project Management as a Service?

PMaaS (Project Management as a Service) is a novel approach to mobilizing agile projects, programs, and change management services. The approach is one in which the partner oversees all aspects of service delivery, including recruitment, onboarding, and training, in order to create cost savings and organizational capability while simultaneously enhancing project and program execution performance. 

Using PMaaS Can Reduce Costs

The firm doesn't need to keep track of headcount, and the managed service provider is an expert in the service they're providing. When you need capability and capacity, you get it. PMaaS works great for short-term, high-impact projects, and as well as longer, more technical projects such as CRM implementation. Often, organizations have a problem or project that needs a solution but do not have the continued need to employ a full-time employee or team, to address a part-time issue. 

The provider of a managed service assumes responsibility for project performance management. Because the pricing models are based on the individual services to be supplied, as well as the volume and complexity of projects within the service, employing a managed service supplier may even allow the client to pay less than if they had gone piecemeal previously. 

Why Clients Move to PMaaS? 

Clients are searching for providers that can relieve them of some of the constraints of providing support services, allowing them to focus on their core competency or what they do best, similar to the trend to managed services for IT solutions. Clients may choose to switch to a managed service model for a variety of reasons. It may not be appropriate in all circumstances, but it could be considered in cases where one or more of the following conditions exist:

There are some difficult, crucial transformation efforts where the firm needs to have faith in the PMO's ability to deliver.

  • There isn't enough competence or capacity in-house to provide an effective PMO service.
  • There is a requirement for the consistency that comes with having a single service provider.
  • The company wants more cost transparency and manageability in the PMO.
  • The frequent turnover of contractors causes a loss of knowledge and time.
  • Because the company or program has a global scope, a well-integrated and standardized global PMO is required for better coordination.
  • In the company's operations, there is a strong service management attitude.
  • There is a need to improve internal PPM maturity by having the service integrate standardized processes into activities that can be swallowed by the firm in the future.

Why is PMaaS a Future-Proof Model?

As previously said, project management as a service represents a shift in thinking toward a value-based strategy that places the customer or client at the heart of your offering. To attain client satisfaction, you must first determine what level of performance is necessary.

It necessitates that project management resources have a clear awareness of how they are linked to the organization's strategic goals. What can I do in my job to eliminate waste from these processes for commencement or status reporting if the focus is on Project Efficiency? What are some of the ways we can use technology to improve delivery? Organizations must focus on prioritizing work, including project management activity, based on alignment to strategic imperatives and value in today's market and, more critically, in the future.

Holiday Supply Chain Issues & How Small Businesses Could Have an Edge

           Small Businesses and Holiday Optimism  Independent businesses are cautiously optimistic that their holiday seasons will be bright, despite problems this year ranging from supply chain hitches to shortages of trendy seasonal items, after nearly two years of the pandemic. This year, many businesses ordered decorations, toys, stocking stuffers, and other things well in advance, relying on smaller vendors to fill in any gaps in their inventory. They've used social media to reach out to customers. They're also betting that supply chain troubles at larger businesses this year will result in a surge of last-minute shopping in their stores.

According to Sensormatic Solutions, retail traffic was up nearly 20% year over year for the week ending Dec. 18, but down 23% from the same week in the pre-pandemic year of 2019. Howev...
