PMCoE vs. PMO/Major Projects A PMO is an important central hub with a mandate to coordinate and deliver all project activities as determined by the organization's needs. The PMO strives to standardize and introduce economies of repetition in the execution of projects. Tasks may include monitoring and reporting on active projects, programs and subportfolios, and reporting progress to top management for strategic decisions on what projects to continue or cancel. The PMCoE is a central hub with a mandate to provide a consistent framework to deliver the organization s projects consistently. The PMCoE supports the PMO in the execution of projects and continuously improves corporate governance. Policy PMCoE What Dep t Procedures How 7

The Relationship Between Change Management & Risk A holistic process for managing change within the portfolio does not magically solve the problem of change collision and change saturation. No matter how well executed, the more change introduced in an environment increases risk. 17
Managing Change within a Portfolio Helps Manage Risk There are a number of reasons organizations need an approach for managing the portfolio of change underway. The most common reasons for such an approach include: The ever increasing amount of change organizations are facing. The potential for change saturation. The consequences of change collision. Leadership Manage Change Execution Strategy 18
Portfolio Performance Within Duke Energy, Portfolio Performance is observed at many levels: At the PMO Level At the Line of business level Across the Division Across the Enterprise Portfolio Performance should be transparent and facilitate decision making. Portfolio Performance should not only include cost and schedule but also include potential risks and escalated issues. Enterprise Division Business PMO 19
