FOX has experience running
a PMO for projects as complex as Independent
Verification and Validation IV&V of major healthcare
information systems and for projects as straightforward
as compliance planning.
The PMO strategy that FOX employs incorporates best
practices such as the following:
- Project Management
Institute Project Management Body of Knowledge
(PMBOK)
- Client standards
for Project Management, and
- Corporate
knowledge, experience, and expertise in systems and
management consulting best practices
One of the key elements
of the FOX project management methodology is our
insistence on quality in all phases of a project. Our
project management methodology is built upon a set of
complementary skills and project-based knowledge,
resulting in an approach that allows FOX to reliably
manage and complete complex organizational changes
on-time, within budget, with high customer satisfaction,
and a consistent focus on quality. The FOX methodology
is very closely linked to accepted industry-standards
such as the PMBOK.
This methodology
includes:
- Project Planning
- Scope Management
- Task Management
- Schedule
Management
- Cost Management
- Quality Management
- Risk Management
- Configuration

- Human Resources
Management
- Performance
Management
FOX utilizes its
methodology to help its clients implement significant
changes rapidly and successfully. Our approach to
maintaining a Project Management Office is based on more
than 15 years of experience with a variety of clients
across the healthcare industry. We understand the key
elements of project management and their relationship to
each other. A company’s ability to plan, baseline,
track, manage, and communicate critical project elements
(scope, cost, quality, risk, resources, etc.) as well as
understand the relationship between these elements is
often the difference between a project’s failure or
success. Knowing the importance of identifying
dependencies between parties, linking appropriate
resources and skill sets to key deliverables, and
associating budget time and resources are just a few of
the inter-relationships intrinsic to a good project
infrastructure.
Put simply, Project Management Offices are responsible
for ensuring that plans are developed, details of each
activity are defined, resources are scheduled, and that
all critical factors are constantly monitored and
communicated across the broader organization. Resources
to be managed include constrained resources such as
time, skilled staff, and cost. Less constrained are
variables such as work methods, staff mix, task
definition and solution definition.
Regardless of complexity, FOX is the consulting partner
of choice to handle your PMO needs.
