Project Context and Objectives

By January 1, 2018, SGSS must comply with all European directives regarding the governance of financial instruments (MiFID2).

For this very large project (average of 750 man-hours per month in 2017), the project management wishes to relieve the transverse project managers of their activities by calling upon a PMO. It is in this context that I joined this project.

Mission

My main activities consist of:

• Retrieving tracking information from team leaders: budgets, forecasts, consumed.

• Following up with and challenging stakeholders on their team management (CapEx).

• Preparing and submitting project dashboards.

• Escalating alerts and risks related to planning, forecasts, and budgets.

In parallel, I am implementing several automated processes to speed up report production and simplify test case tracking:

• Creation of a complete process for automated data retrieval and processing for the project:

o Staff Plan (monthly forecast and budget by team and resource)

o Application (consolidation by application team)

o Financial (consolidation of financial data)

This automated process reduces manual processing time from 2 days to 2 hours.

• Writing comprehensive operating procedures to launch these processes without my presence.

• Implementing macros for tracking test case files (CSV file aggregation, results consolidation, etc.).

Project Context and Objectives

Covea's DGTSI wishes to establish a common Project Portfolio Repository for its three brands: MAAF in Niort, MMA in Le Mans and Chartres, and GMF in Levallois and Saran. To initiate project planning, a "Task Force" team is formed with the goal of making this repository available to all Covea stakeholders (Pilots, Project Managers, Managers) within 3 months. The following 3 months are used to support the 2500 stakeholders in using this new version of the repository and guide them in the operational planning of their projects.
