PMO setup and maturity, assessed before it is designed.
Praveg stands up new PMOs and matures existing ones for organisations from startup to enterprise, in any industry. It is for leaders who need a PMO that governs delivery and reports outcomes, not one that only collects status.
Scope of work
PMO design and setup
Charter, mandate, operating model and governance cadence for a new PMO, sized to the portfolio it will serve.
- PMO charter and decision rights
- Intake, prioritisation and reporting rhythm
- Templates, tooling and first 90 days
PMO maturity assessment
A structured read of where the PMO stands on the OPTIC instrument, with the limiting dimension named and a prioritised roadmap.
- OPTIC Rapid in half a day, or Deep in 2 to 4 weeks
- Target Maturity Profile, not a universal five
- Priority Lens: where to start and why
PMO transformation
Modernising a PMO that reports but does not govern: from activity tracking to outcome ownership.
- Governance redesign
- KPI and dashboard setup
- Change management for the PMO's customers
Fractional PMO leadership
A senior PMO lead on a retainer, for organisations that need the capability before they need the headcount.
- Weekly steering and escalation
- Portfolio reviews and board reporting
- Succession to an in-house lead
Maturity is measured against a calibrated target, never a universal five.
Praveg assesses PMO maturity on the Praveg OPTIC Maturity Model™: five pillars, twenty-five dimensions, each rated on a five-level anchor ladder (Reactive, Developing, Defined, Managed, Optimising) against a Target Maturity Profile set from four drivers. Pillar level is the median of its dimensions with the limiting dimension named.
A good fit when
- A founder-led or mid-market firm whose growth is outrunning its governance
- A PMO that reports status but cannot change outcomes
- A leadership team that wants evidence before investing in a transformation
Senior, hands-on, accountable

What stood out was the ability to quickly understand our business context and translate it into actionable PMO recommendations, practical, scalable, and immediately useful.
The workshop sessions were highly engaging and relatable. Complex project-management concepts were explained with real-world examples.
Their consulting approach was refreshingly implementation-focused rather than theoretical. Several process improvements suggested during the engagement continue to deliver operational efficiencies.
The PMP and project-management sessions were among the most practical trainings our teams have attended.
FAQ

A charter, operating model and first reporting cycle typically land within eight to twelve weeks. Praveg stays through the first two or three portfolio reviews so the governance holds under real decisions.
What is a PMO maturity assessment?
A structured rating of the PMO and the organisation around it on the Praveg OPTIC Maturity Model™ instrument: five pillars, twenty-five dimensions, each rated on a five-level anchor ladder against a calibrated target, with the limiting dimension named per pillar.
