CÁLCULO DO RETORNO DO INVESTIMENTO DO PMO

A tabela a seguir lista os projetos que serão gerenciados pelo PMO nos próximos cinco anos. A seleção dos projetos foi feita utilizando o processo de gerenciamento de portfólio corporativo da Tiger Screws.

Os resultados financeiros obtidos foram calculados diretamente para os projetos com benefícios tangíveis e indiretamente para projetos que envolvam benefícios intangíveis. Nesses casos, os benefícios foram determinados através do AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) e da Estimativa Bayseana simplificada. Os valores financeiros apresentados estão em valor presente.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE (PMO) RETURN ON INVESTMENTABOUT THE COMPANY

For simulation purposes, the variation in schedules, budgets and financial results is determined by a percentage to be added or taken away from the baseline value.

Two data sets are presented: these compare the results obtained when no PMO exists or no project management process is established against those obtained when there are established processes for project management or a PMO.

These variations are evaluated based on market studies and research on the value of project management.

In the case of Tiger Screws, they opted for a conservative/pessimistic perspective of the gains to be obtained with a PMO, where the optimistic outlook with the PMO assumes that the baseline case values are kept (0%) and no additional gain will be obtained.

In order to simplify the simulated data, projects were classified into 4 (four) “categories” according to the level of complexity of the project.

The projects with the same level of complexity will be grouped and calculated as a single element.

There is a 90% probability that the time gain using the PMO will be a minimum of 59.87 months.

Please note that the objective of time gain is to evaluate the reduction in the projects’ workload and not necessarily a faster completion of work.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE (PMO) RETURN ON INVESTMENTINVESTMENTS AND PMO CONTRUBUTION ON THE RESULTS

The following table shows the level of expenditure needed in order to secure the investment of the PMO for the next 5 years. The investments will be converted to their present values assuming an interest rate of 13% per year.

The following matrix compares the contribution of project management processes (PMO) to the results obtained; however, there may be other factors as well, since the results can be improved

not only by the PMO, but also by many other external factors, and these need to be considered.

By using the AHP technique, which was carried out with the stakeholders, it was concluded that the contribution of the PMO to the overall results is 52.2%, with an inconsistency index of 6.8%. The results were calculated using a Analytic Hierarchy Process-enabled software
