Challenge
The Housing Authority (now part of Department of Communities) is an affordable housing provider, operating in land development, housing construction and property management. The agency delivers quality housing that people can afford and provides people with opportunities to buy a home.
When the Housing Authority needed a partner to re-launch their PMO and add in PPM capability they selected Consulcad. We worked with various business units including service delivery, construction and technology to design and develop a PMO services and a project portfolio management solution for their existing Microsoft Office 365 environment.
How we solved it
Working in close collaboration with users and management Consulcad rolled out a series of modular releases in a ‘try, test, release’ process that had functionality delivered in weeks rather than months. Consulcad delivered:
- Enterprise project registration, project status reporting, project collaboration sites.
- Full integration to existing project management toolkits and working, with workflows and approvals.
- PMO Leadership and Support services pre and post launch.
- A solution with a focus on ease of use designed for different user needs across service delivery, construction and technology business areas.
The outcome
- A PMO and PPM solution that meet the need of a diverse and multidiscipline stakeholder group.
- The agency can assess and score candidate projects against multilayered strategic drivers.
- Initiate, track and report on all key activity through to project completion.
- Single source of truth for all projects, much improved transparency of key project information and with that greater confidence in project delivery.
