The NOAA PMO will distinguish itself as a leader in telecommunications and provides IT enterprise project/program/portfolio management oversight to facilitate success. The PMO focuses on today's needs, while promoting environments for exchanging innovative ideas and thoughts to meet the technology needs of tomorrow.
The PMO advances the vision and mission of NOAA's Strategic Plan through implementing best practices of both government and industry into a project management discipline that evaluates a project's likelihood to fail and proactively implements corrective actions and resolutions to issues and risk events.
The NOAA PMO establishes, supports, and implements enterprise project/program/portfolio management and telecommunications best practices for the benefit of NOAA's mission in a way that encourages standardization of processes and collaboration across the organization's Line Offices, Staff Offices, and Policy "Setting" Areas (ex. capital planning and investment control, enterprise architecture, information security, etc).
The PMO Enterprise Projects Division is transforming NOAA's IT project/program/portfolio management processes (i.e. its methodology and applications) by establishing standards to enable the NOAA community to consistently deliver projects more cost-effectively, with higher quality, within the defined scope, on schedule, and exceeding customers' expectations.
The PMO Telecommunications Division provides state-of-the-art technology, reliable voice, and integrated data communication services to the NOAA community, while emphasizing outstanding customer relations and professionalism.
