The largest and most detailed body of work from the Head of PMO role at CRMiUM: 14 governance mechanisms, grouped into four connected systems, that together form the delivery governance backbone for an 80+ project, $2M+ portfolio.
Matured over 1.5 years as the portfolio scaled from ad-hoc execution to 80+ concurrent projects, the 14 mechanisms below group naturally into four systems — the processes that run every project, the tools that power them, the governance that enforces accountability and quality, and the metrics that make it all visible to leadership.
Designed and rolled out each mechanism personally as Head of PMO, sequencing them as the portfolio scaled and maturity grew.
No consistent governance across an 80+ project portfolio — prioritization, resourcing, documentation, risk, and reporting were handled ad hoc, project by project.
No single framework connecting these mechanisms, making it hard to scale or repeat what worked.
Four systems, each with its own full breakdown.
The four foundational processes that took the portfolio from ad-hoc execution to a repeatable system.
Three systems built from scratch to run the portfolio day to day.
The three systems that defined who's accountable, what risk looks like, and what "done" means.
Four numbers every project reports on, rolled up into one portfolio-wide view for leadership.
