About the Project Management Office

The State of Maine's Project Management Office (PMO) is a service organization that supports executive branch departments, projects, and initiatives. The PMO stewards State of Maine investments through best-practice processes that engage and foster effective execution and enable successful outcomes. The PMO’s mission is to lead the delivery of project results on behalf of the Maine State Government.

The PMO has comprehensive expertise to move your project forward.  Our team consists of highly trained state employees and contractors spanning multiple disciplines like project management, business analysis, quality assurance, program development, strategic planning, and project leadership.

The PMO delivers two elements of services:

Transformation Management is the central point of entry for all project or work requests. It defines the needs of the requesting organization through strategic processes. This program, offered as a service by DAFS, helps agencies determine, describe, and detail initiatives to be added to their portfolio of strategic initiatives. Transformation management can also include specific services, including a suite of services delivered by the team’s business analysts. The transformation management team may prepare a business case that is used as the foundation for implementing projects.

Project Management delivers a proven methodology for advancing initiatives. With clear steps outlined from initiation to closing, project teams are guided by project charters, communication plans, and robust tracking mechanisms to ensure success.
