Momentum assisted the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) in developing policies, tools, methodologies and other supporting documentation for a three-tiered project governance structure. This structure included a Project Governance Board, an IT Project Management Office (PMO) and a structured methodology for individual project management.

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) mission is to assist the Pennsylvania Government and Educators by providing maintenance and support of a thorough and efficient system of education. Momentum assisted the PDE with this mission by establishing and implementing a department-wide IT PMO to coordinate and manage the progress of all PDE IT projects.

Outcomes Achieved:

  • All IT projects are prioritized and evaluated against PDE’s strategic goals
  • Integration of project efforts occurs across bureaus and divisions
  • Redundant projects are avoided because potential projects are evaluated through the use of a structured methodology
  • Project resources are allocated in relationship to project priorities
  • Projects are consistently managed to deliver optimized value to PDE
