Our Story

PMO TuneUp, LLC was born from the desire of our founder to help organizations “tune up” their project portfolio management systems and processes, gain clarity from chaos, and accelerate product delivery.

Similar to our vehicles, project portfolio management ecosystems need to be routinely maintained to ensure they working optimally. Whether in start up mode or an already established firm, having an adaptable and scalable approach to identifying, planning, executing, monitoring and prioritizing initiatives keeps organizations nimble and able to pivot direction.

Our goal is to engage with our clients, understand their current state of project portfolio management—what are their issues, what’s working / not working, how do they measure success and what would be a home run for them and create a plan to “tune up” their project portfolio management ecosystem.

We offer a variety of solutions to support our customers including single consultations, monthly packages and opportunities to create customized packages, like PMO establishment and templates creation.

We would love to hear more on how we can help get your project portfolio management processes running on all cylinders! Schedule an appointment with us today!
