Project Management Office (PMO)
DBC is proud to announce the recent creation of its Project Management Office (PMO).This initiative is at the heart of a rapidly expanding practice, designed to foster information sharing and encourage collaboration, all supported by rigorous quality standards.
“Our vision is to become the recognized market leader in supporting Quebec SMEs in the manufacturing and distribution sectors and maximizing their investments in SAP technology. The creation of our Project Management Office is another step in this direction.”
– Denis Boucher, President and Founder
Our Project Management Office (PMO) is an essential strategic driver for the successful delivery of DBC projects, perfectly aligned with the needs of our customers and business lines. Our focus is to maintain the trust and satisfaction of our customers by strengthening our team and setting the benchmark in the project management field.This framework also promotes smoother project management by standardizing processes and tools, contributing to better resource, cost, and schedule management. By adopting project management best practices, the PMO applies proven methods for streamlined execution.
“Thanks to its diversified experience, the DBC PMO team adapts to the customer’s context and needs through its hands-on approach. This allows us to manage projects with an intimate understanding of the issues at stake, drawing on knowledge gained from recent projects carried out within Quebec SMEs.”
– Manon St-Jacques, Program Director and Project Management Practice Leader
A PMO offers optimized project monitoring and control. Tools and performance indicators allow precise progress tracking and rapid identification of deviations from objectives. This makes it easier to make adjustments or take corrective action, ensuring proactive, efficient management. Communication and information sharing help anticipate risks, reinforcing informed decision-making. Stakeholders have reliable information with which to understand the impact of their decisions.
“The already established tools enable projects to get off the ground faster, without the need for additional development, instead requiring simple adaptation. Depending on the context, the customer benefits from smoother implementation and more effective follow-up from the outset.”
– Kremena Todorova, Project Manager and Resource Mentor
A key aspect of the PMO is the training structure it offers through the implementation of targeted programs. Direct support, with mentors or coaches, guides new employees through the learning process, bringing fluidity and consistency to training. It’s a structure in which every new resource quickly becomes an asset to the team, boosting efficiency through a culture of sharing and continuous learning.
“Coaching within the PMO brings real added value and enables us to develop better, adapt to change, improve our communication, and manage challenges more effectively. It helps with motivation, collaboration, and skills development.”
– Lucia Finol, Team Leader
In terms of skills development, the PMO provides ongoing training and educational resources, helping to build internal capacity to sustain a culture of excellence by sharing feedback. It also plays a key role in improving the quality of deliverables by establishing stringent control processes, ensuring that projects meet defined standards and expectations.
“Our involvement with PMI-Montreal allows us to meet other project managers, share our common passion and learn more about best practices. PMI is an internationally recognized association in the field of project management, and responsible for PMP certification.”
– Philippe Duchaine-Brunet, Project and Marketing Manager
– Roséanne Granger, Team Leader
Last but not least, the PMO relies on fluid communication and the sharing of best practices. By centralizing information, it enables better coordination for the benefit of project teams. It also highlights successes and solutions to challenges, resulting in continuous collaboration and improvement between the members of the project team. This transparency and synergy strengthens everyone’s commitment and contributes to achieving objectives under the best possible conditions.
“Regular, transparent, and honest communication strengthens the relationship of trust with the customer. It demonstrates our commitment to respecting the customer’s needs, meeting their objectives and ensuring the success of the project.”
– Nicolas Paré, Team Leader and Assistant Project Manager
Much more than an administrative structure, the PMO becomes a driving force behind project success and the achievement of our customers’ strategic objectives. Thanks to its many benefits, from coordination and optimized resource management to continuous improvement and quality, it leads to more efficient and coherent project management, contributing to organizational agility and competitive edge.
“A PMO analyzes the performance of past projects to learn lessons and continuously improve project management. A system that allows the customer to avoid repeating the same mistakes and strengthen their organization’s ability to succeed in future projects.”
