The New Role of the EPMO
The EPMO has always been at the center of the management of work across the entire enterprise, but now more than ever that work is constantly changing. Why? Because the needs of businesses are evolving every day. It’s no longer a set it and forget it function of a business where goals are discussed annually and a plan is put into place to be executed for the next 365 days. That just won’t work today. The EPMO must support the evolving needs of the business and having the right data available is crucial to be able to adapt and be proactive when change is on the horizon. The EPMO is a strategic business driver for businesses today and must rise to the occasion in order to succeed.
With KeyedIn Enterprise onboard your EPMO is no longer just a governance function, but a business function focused on adjusting investments in real time to ensure business benefits and the desired business outcomes are delivered.

Quickly and seamlessly make adjustments to business plans on the fly.
Deliver Real Business Results
Now that the EPMO is in the spotlight for delivering the results the business desires, how can you ensure you perform? The basis of all outcomes delivered through the EPMO must align strategy to execution. If execution of projects and portfolio aren’t aligned to the strategic goals of the business that misalignment won’t deliver the expected results. The best way to achieve this alignment is to continuously monitor your portfolio and ensure portfolio governance. In order to achieve strategic portfolio management, the EPMO must have those processes in place and key KPIs identified that allow you to track each portfolio against the desired business outcomes.
With KeyedIn Enterprise your EPMO is empowered to make strategic portfolio decisions resulting in delivering the optimal business results. When the EPMO has this foundation in place, it is set up for success in driving business performance and results.

Drive EPMO Value
With the needs of business’ today constantly evolving, the EPMO must be able to adapt. But in order to do this strategically, EPMOs must have the right information at their fingertips with comprehensive portfolio reporting and dashboards. EPMO leaders need to quickly identify areas that are no longer aligned with the strategic initiatives of the business and act accordingly. It’s also important to integrate to other crucial business systems to allow a comprehensive view all systems of record in order to make the best decision for all programs, projects, products, applications and services. Without this key data, the EPMO is flying blind and doesn’t have the strategic insights to truly drive the business forward with certainty.

Be a Performance Focused EPMO
When EPMOs are focused on delivering and maintaining alignment between strategy and execution, the benefits of that alignment naturally follow. But those benefits aren’t simply for the EPMO itself. Performance focused, strategy driven, EPMOs enable improvements across the entire organization. Individual projects are more likely to deliver the benefits that were the drivers of their approval.
