Session Recording
Session Notes
Gero provided an overview of the benefits of Program Framework’s Power Framework. Power Framework is built on Microsoft’s Power Platform and facilitates the build out of a PPM offering to resolve a perennial PMO challenge of no depth to the data they hold/have access to.
Gero walked through the benefits of the tool for PMO, Project Managers and stakeholder groups and concluded with the key points to include when making a strategic business case for adoption.
Key themes this PPM tool are locally held data, the opportunity to start in a small way and grow over time using the low/no code development opportunities, an inexpensive route to integration that aids the rapid pace of change.
Productivity themes running across all potential user groups include time saving, consistency, familiar tools, ease of use, better collaboration and visibility
In addition, PMO productivity gains include the ability to run updates for Excel (with security for PMO access only), to monitor compliance (both usage and document compliance) and to accelerate process. Through time the maturity and competency of the users increases and the PMO will become a continuous innovator. All this supports the ability to make better, timely decisions.
The session was based on the Program Framework’s Microsoft Cloud PPM tool, there are other options out there, but Power Framework offers differing levels of interaction dependent on the maturity of the PMO and can be grown as the PMO matures.
