Establishment of a Supportive Project Management Office(PMO) at nextek Solution Lahore

Abstract

This report evaluates the existing project management practices at Nextek Solutions and proposes the establishment of a Supportive Project Management Office (PMO). The study is based on interview-based inputs collected from staff members and focuses on identifying gaps related to standardization, coordination, reporting, and management visibility. The analysis shows that project management activities are currently decentralized and largely dependent on individual practices, resulting in inconsistent processes and limited consolidated visibility for senior management. To address these gaps, a Supportive PMO model is proposed that emphasizes guidance, coordination, and reporting rather than direct control over project execution. The proposed PMO focuses on three core functions: standards and methodology support, project support and coordination, and reporting. A RAG-based dashboard is also introduced to enhance management visibility by providing a high-level view of PMO implementation progress. The proposed framework aims to improve consistency, transparency, and decision support while maintaining flexibility within the organization.
