TOPIC: Creating a Project Management Office

For Carnegie Mellon University’s central IT organization, creating a Project Management Office (PMO) was a solution to a number of problems. In this discussion Kelley Anderson will talk about what problems Carnegie Mellon faced when they decided to create the PMO, how the PMO helped them address those problems, what services the PMO provides now, and some lessons learned along the way.

Presenter:
Kelley Anderson, MBA, PMP, CSM, is a Senior Project Manager and has worked for the Computing Services Division of Carnegie Mellon University since July 2005. During that time she has worked in various roles on projects ranging from implementing a new campus-wide printing system in the computer labs, upgrading the data center, and migrating critical applications to new hardware. She has also worked on improving portfolio management and project management methodology and tools for the division.
