Dear PMI Members,
I write to you seeking advice for an initiative that I have been tasked with. My sponsor has asked me to implement PMI-PMP standards (templates, roles and responsibilities, etc...) to vertical functions like the Finance, HR, IT, etc. I have experience in doing this for a 'project' type situations in other companies, but looking for ideas to apply the same to operational type processes. So in case of HR, it can be implementing PMI standards to a process of crediting employee salaries at the end of each month or in case of finance, paying vendor invoices or in procurement, settling vendor payment disputes.
To give you a background, this technology services company currently does not have any project management standards applied but is looking to move to a projectized type organization. They believe that aligning all job functions / processes as per PMI standards is the first step in achieving it.
I look forward to your response and would welcome any suggestions, advice, links to other articles, book recommendations, etc. that can help me.
