Project Management and PMO Services
HR professionals who manage projects, not project managers learning HR. We combine deep HR functional knowledge with technical platform expertise to deliver transformation projects that actually work in practice.
PMO Services
Project management grounded in real HR expertise. We understand your processes, speak your language, and know the technology platforms inside out.
Project Planning & Setup
Define project charter, scope boundaries, SMART objectives, detailed timeline with milestones, budget allocation, resource requirements, RACI matrix, and governance framework including steering committee structure and decision rights.
Stakeholder Management
Create stakeholder map with influence/interest analysis, develop engagement strategies, facilitate workshops with HR leadership, IT teams, business units, and external vendors. Ensure alignment through regular touchpoints and structured decision-making forums.
Risk & Issue Management
Maintain comprehensive risk register with probability/impact assessment, develop mitigation strategies and contingency plans, conduct regular risk reviews, implement issue tracking system with escalation procedures, and proactively address blockers before they impact timelines.
Status Reporting & Communication
Deliver weekly status reports with RAG status indicators, create executive dashboards with KPIs and milestone tracking, facilitate steering committee meetings with decision logs, manage communication cadence across all levels, and ensure transparency on progress, issues, and changes.
Resource Coordination
Develop resource allocation matrix across internal teams and vendors, manage capacity planning and workload balancing, coordinate dependencies between work streams, facilitate knowledge transfer, and ensure critical skills are available when needed throughout project lifecycle.
Change Management
Assess change impact and organizational readiness, develop change management strategy aligned with project phases, create training plans and materials, design communication campaigns, identify and empower change champions, and measure adoption through user feedback and usage metrics.
Why HR Expertise Matters in Project Management
We don't just manage timelines and budgets. Our HR background means we catch issues before they derail projects and make decisions that align with how HR actually works.
We Speak HR Language
When your CHRO talks about talent density, competency frameworks, or succession planning, we don't need translation. We understand HR processes, organizational design, and people analytics. This means better requirements gathering, smarter scope decisions, and we can challenge both HR teams and vendors when requirements don't make sense.
We Know HR Tech
We've configured major HRIS platforms countless times. When a vendor says 'yes, we support that', we know whether it's out-of-the-box, requires custom development, or is marketing speak. We can estimate effort accurately, spot integration risks early, and push back on unrealistic timelines based on real platform knowledge.
We Bridge HR and IT
Most project failures happen in the gap between HR stakeholders who know what they need and IT teams who build solutions. We translate in both directions fluently. HR teams trust us because we understand their domain. IT teams respect us because we speak their technical language and understand system architecture, APIs, and data models.
We've Seen This Before
Change resistance during onboarding? Data migration challenges with organizational hierarchies? Integration complexity with payroll providers? We've navigated these scenarios dozens of times. Our pattern recognition from HR domain experience means we anticipate problems, prepare mitigation strategies, and don't waste time learning lessons you shouldn't have to pay for.
The dignativeX Advantage
HR domain knowledge built-in from day one. Accurate estimates based on real platform experience. Solutions that work in practice — and when standard software falls short, we build the missing pieces.
