A Central Project and Portfolio Pilot Gives a Government PMO One View of Its Work
Bring all government project and portfolio data into one place so the PMO can see and decide.
Para designed and piloted a central project and portfolio management setup. It tracked every project from intake to delivery, including its budget and risks. Role-based security and executive dashboards completed the pilot.
Business challenge
- Project and portfolio data needed one central governance model.
- Every project's resources, budget, and risks needed one shared view.
- Executives and the PMO needed consistent status reports.
Para approach
- We defined the PPM business requirements and operating model.
- We set up portfolio and demand governance.
- We set up project planning, scheduling, and time tracking.
- We captured project financial and control data.
- We designed role-based security and executive dashboards.
How it works
Validated EPM and PPM pilot and executive-reporting model. Evidence: EPM business requirements, SRS, technical proposal, Project Server security design and runtime dashboards.

Portfolio & demand governance
Central project intake and ranking.
Project lifecycle & scheduling
Project setup, planning, and schedule management.
Resource & time

Project financials
Financial and cash flow data, with evidence of cost reporting.
Project controls
The risks and changes that affect each project.
PMO dashboards

Evidence-supported outcomes
Centralized pilot model
The pilot proved a central PPM model across several stakeholder groups.
PMO visibility
All project data now sits in one management model.
Reusable operating model
Para now has reusable PPM information and governance patterns.
Pilot boundary preserved
This remains a pilot. We do not claim that the pilot became a full production platform across government.
Technology & delivery context
Older Microsoft Project Server 2010 and SharePoint setup with security design and live dashboards.
