Program Management Office

More and more organizations are utilizing Program Management Offices (PMOs) in leading organizational changes, promoting a project management culture, institutionalizing organizational processes, managing enterprise-level projects, programs, portfolios and in improving the organization's overall performance.  

• Project Management Professionals (PMPs) are employed to reduce the risk of project derailment and to help ensure the efficient completion of projects within an organization.

• An organization’s long-term strategy is developed into a program; that is, a series of projects intended to progressively add value and capability for optimal performance and strategic positioning.

• What makes project management different from normal operations management is that a project is defined as a temporary initiative to achieve a specific goal. Once achieved, the project is complete.

• Organizations look to strategix.xyz to augment their internal human resources and bring in project management professionals on a contract basis for the life of a project.

Project Management Institute – Code of Ethics & Professional Conduct

As practitioners of project management, we are committed to doing what is right and honorable. We set high standards for ourselves and we aspire to meet these standards in all aspects of our lives—at work, at home, and in service to our profession.

The Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct describes the expectations that we have of ourselves and our fellow practitioners in the global project management community. It articulates the ideals to which we aspire as well as the behaviors that are mandatory in our professional and volunteer roles.

The purpose of this Code is to instill confidence in the project management profession and to help an individual become a better practitioner. We do this by establishing a profession-wide understanding of appropriate behavior.

We believe that the credibility and reputation of the project management profession is shaped by the collective conduct of individual practitioners. We believe that we can advance our profession, both individually and collectively, by embracing this Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct.

We also believe that this Code will assist us in making wise decisions, particularly when faced with difficult situations where we may be asked to compromise our integrity or our values.

Our hope is that this Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct will serve as a catalyst for others to study, deliberate, and write about ethics and values. Further, we hope that this Code will ultimately be used to build upon and evolve our profession.
