PMO as a Service
Practical PMO support to help councils improve project visibility, strengthen governance, coordinate delivery, and build greater confidence across capital and organisational programs.
What this service covers
Ecosynergy’s PMO as a Service offering helps councils improve project governance, sharpen portfolio visibility, strengthen delivery disciplines, and build more reliable systems for planning, reporting, and control.
The focus is on practical PMO capability that supports better decision-making, stronger coordination between finance and project delivery, clearer accountabilities, and more effective implementation across capital works and broader organisational initiatives.
Delivering value
Strengthening governance, reporting, and controls so projects and portfolios deliver clearer organisational value.
Continuous improvement
Improving PMO maturity through structured uplift rather than one-off interventions.
More efficient and effective delivery
Embedding consistent processes, stage gates, reporting rhythms, and clearer decision pathways.
Embedded operational uplift
Building practical PMO systems that councils can use, maintain, and improve over time.
How Ecosynergy helps
Portfolio visibility and reporting
Improving portfolio oversight through clearer reporting, more consistent data, and better visibility of progress, risks, dependencies, and delivery confidence.
Governance and stage-gate discipline
Strengthening project governance, decision pathways, and stage-gate processes so projects progress with clearer accountabilities and more reliable control points.
Project controls and delivery systems
Building practical frameworks for schedules, risk, issues, budgets, forecasts, and benefits so project management becomes more structured and repeatable.
Implementation and PMO maturity uplift
Supporting councils to move from ad hoc project management toward more mature, fit-for-purpose PMO practices that can be embedded and sustained over time.

Methodologies and delivery approach
Depending on the need, Ecosynergy can draw on AgilePM, Lean Six Sigma, structured waterfall project management, change management, and practical stakeholder engagement approaches to build PMO systems that are disciplined, proportionate, and usable in council environments.
A structured Health Check can also provide a practical starting point for identifying PMO, project governance, and delivery priorities before moving into implementation.

How we engage
Retainer-based support
Flexible support packages, typically around 5–20 hours per week or tailored to suit, can provide responsive PMO capability, portfolio reporting support, governance uplift, and practical project controls as and when required. This model is particularly useful where councils need scalable, prequalified support without building full internal PMO overhead.
Project-based engagement
Defined-scope engagements can also be used for PMO diagnostics, reporting framework builds, governance reviews, portfolio uplift, dashboard implementation, or other delivery improvement assignments where clear outputs and timeframes are required.
