Responsibility Domain: The PMO’s project management


responsibility domain for each service is unique, varying from
statewide to what’s defined by the respective Investment
Review Board (IRB). For example, the span of responsibilities
for project management policy and standards are statewide.
For direct project oversight, the span of responsibility is from
OIMT for enterprise infrastructure and mission systems to the
departments for performing oversight of their specific mission
and non-major systems. Department mission projects that are
well run remain within their oversight domain of responsibility
(refer to Figure 4 below).

The PMO will provide value across the State of Hawai`i by


specifically assisting with the following:

APPENDIX D: PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICE
E.1 Policy: Manage, develop, and coordinate Federal and State of Hawai`i PM Policy.

Within the PMO, the Program Manager is responsible for understanding project management policy, regulation, directives and guidance;
and coordinates their appropriate implementation into State of Hawai`i policies, directives, and guidance. This includes project
management policy, regulation and guidance. This function supports the PMO’s oversight and all other functional responsibilities regarding
human resources, practice standards, and professional tools. It is inherently the PMO’s responsibility; this provides one set of directives,
standards and guidance for all State of Hawai`i Bureau and Office PMOs and Project Offices. Leveraging economy of scale, this prevents
each project from developing policies.

E.2 Standards Identification, Development and Coordination: Manage, develop and coordinate project management
standards recognized by the Federal government and the State of Hawai`i.

Within the PMO, the Program Manager is responsible for understanding project management standards; and coordinates the appropriate
translation of these directives into State of Hawai`i policies, directives, and guidance. This includes project management standards that
include to Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK). This function supports the PMO’s oversight, training development, and
training delivery responsibilities. This provides one set of directives, standards, and guidance for all State of Hawai`i Bureau and
Office PMOs and Project Offices. If performed at the project level, this would create inconsistent practices and reporting of planning
and performance.

E.3 Oversight: Policy and Standards Accountability: Manage and coordinate State of Hawai`i project oversight activities to
assure adherence to policy and standards; monitor and track performance.

The PMO is responsible for evaluating project planning quality and due diligence; and provide continuous monitoring and tracking of
project performance. At the project planning stage, this includes managing and coordinating of the independent IBR. At the completion of
execution/development, this includes the post implementation review (PIR). Throughout the project this includes performance reporting
to the State of Hawai`i’s portfolio management and governance structures. This function supports the policy and standards adherence
responsibilities regarding human resources, practice standards, and professional tools. This provides consistent and standardized project
oversight that meets State of Hawai`i requirements.

E.4 Central Tools Management: Manage and coordinate State of Hawai`i enterprise project management tools.

The PMO is responsible for planning and managing common enterprise tools needed by all project offices. The managing of and training
for one PMIS provides a cost effective shared resource that supports a statewide portfolio repository. Central tools management function/
service strategy includes the PMIS, cost estimating tools, and team assessment tools. It will manage and coordinate the collection of
project performance information and project artifacts. This function supports the PMO’s central PM repository management responsibility.
Leveraging economy of scale, this provides central tool management for project planning, monitoring, and tracking and accounting. This is
prohibitively expensive for many projects to set up and manage.

State of Hawaii Business and IT/IRM Transformation Plan Governance | PMO Development Plan | 39
E.5 Central PM Repository Management: Manage and coordinate the collection of project performance information and
project artifacts.

By managing and coordinating the collection of project performance information and artifacts, the PMO is responsible to support the
reporting the State of Hawai`i’s portfolio performance, maintaining project records for agency accountability, and lessons learned. This
includes periodic EVM information reporting, risk management, estimating and other planning artifact management responsibilities. This
function supports the PMO’s oversight and lessons learned responsibilities required by an IBR. Leveraging economy of scale, this provides
artifact management used for project accountability and lessons learned. This would be prohibitively expensive for all projects to set up
and manage.

E.6 Portfolio Project Management (PfM): Manage and coordinate the inter-project management and coordination.

The PMO’s portfolio project management performs very important project initiation and inter-project coordination
services with a line of business (LOB), including:

• Project initiation phase analysis and support

• Project charting assistance

• Project and inter-project portfolio resource planning

• Acquisition planning and strategy development

• Project and inter-project portfolio execution tracking and oversight

• Portfolio PM repository coordination

This function supports the PMO’s project oversight, repository management responsibilities, HR assessment and development functions,
performs inter-project coordination and dependency identification, and critical project initiation activities. Not performed at the project
level, PPM provides the important project initiation and inter-project coordination within a LOB

E.7 Human and Team Resource Assessment: Manage and coordinate the project manager competency and team maturity
assessment process.

The PMO performs the capability assessment of practitioners and project team required by best practices. This function supports the
PMO’s project support, training planning, and training delivery responsibilities. Not consistently performed at the project level, the
practitioner and team assessment are better managed and more cost effectively performed at the enterprise level.

E.8 Training and Education – Planning, Design, and Development: Manage and coordinate the development of the
competency delivery process for practitioners and teams.

The PMO performs planning and design requirements of curriculum to be delivered based on competencies required by best practice
standards. This function supports the PMO’s project support and training delivery coordination responsibilities. Leveraging economy of
scale, this provides standardized and consistent quality training and education planning; design and development that are not performed at
the project level.

40 | State of Hawaii Business and IT/IRM Transformation Plan Governance | PMO Development Plan
E.9 Training and Education – Delivery and Delivery Coordination: Manage and coordinate the training and education delivery
process for practitioners and teams.

The PMO coordinates the curriculum delivery of PM competencies required by best practice standards. Currently, the PMO co-manages
the delivery via outsourced contract administration. This function supports the PMO’s project support and leverages economy of scale,
providing standardized and consistent quality training and education delivery that is not performed at the project level.

E.10 Project Support - Guidance and Just-in-time/Just-as-needed Assistance: Provides special skillsets that projects require
for successful performance.

The PMO must provide and coordinate just-in-time and just-as-needed special skillsets for projects such as cost and schedule estimating,
EVM assistance, and risk management expertise. This function supports resource-sharing coordination. Leveraging economy of scale, this
provides standardized and consistent quality and a high level of planning due diligence expertise that is needed for short periods and not
cost effectively developed at the project level.

E.11 Resource Sharing Coordination: Working with projects, helps projects plan and balance resources. It maximizes all of the
organizations’ usage of resources.

For mature organizations, the PMO coordinates the movement of project managers and other specialty resources to maximize the whole
organization’s resource demands. This function supports project support activities, helps the training and education functions, and assists
the PPM function. This function is level 4-5 of the CMM maturity levels. This is the PM function that has great value to the organization by
increasing performance and reducing costs.
