Program Management, Governance and Control

Our staff has first hand experience with all aspects of establishing and maintaining a world class Program/Project Management Office. Our approach is based upon accepted industry standards such as PMBOK and PRINCE2.


Organizations are frequently undertaking large and complex initiatives that change the way they do business. These groups are designing and implementing new platforms, replacing legacy architectures, introducing or changing business models, and redefining their organizational hierarchies. In the midst of all of this change, projects continue to progress and must evolve along with the organization. Program governance creates both the structure and practices to provide guidance at an enterprise level and gives senior-level leadership improved visibility, oversight, and control of the organization.

SMS offers program level governance and control services that provide a framework to manage all of the disparate elements of an organization. Our Governance and Control teams offer Program and Project management services, Earned Value Management services, Cost Analysis, Financial and OMB300 support, Strategic Planning and Resource Management services. These services allow organizations to leverage economies of scale, eliminate duplication of effort, clarify and streamline decision making, improve communications, offer increased enterprise-wide visibility, transparency and accountability, and institute enterprise wide portfolio management. Our approach includes the implementation of industry best practices, standardized processes and involves teams of highly skilled, experienced and certified professionals.
