Project Management PhilosophyThe Central East LHIN has adopted a project management philosophy and processes to support Planning Partners (collaboratives, networks, task groups, project teams) and Health Service Providers develop and implement projects designed to enhance and strengthen health care delivery in the Central East region.

According to the Project Management Institute (PMI®), project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to meet project requirements. This involves balancing competing demands among:• Time, cost and quality;• Stakeholders needs and expectations;• Scope: mandatory requirements versus

wish list requirements.

By applying sound project management practices, processes and techniques, the likelihood of a project being completed on time, within budget and scope, and to an acceptable level of quality will increase.

Project Management OfficeTo support the project management philosophy the Central East LHIN has created a Project Management Office (PMO) to ensure that projects can be aligned and supported in one cohesive structure and process. This will support efficient work flow as projects are presented to the Central East LHIN Board of Directors for decision making or funding approval. It also provides effective, transparent and consistent processes to support the Central East LHIN’s goals of shared communication and transformational leadership.

The purpose of the Central East LHIN PMO is to:• Lead the identification and uptake of

correct project management methods;• Provide access and linkage to resources;• Provide leadership to Central East LHIN

planning teams;• Provide a point of contact on new project

ideas and integration opportunities.

Benefits from the PMO include:• A central source for a consistent process,

templates, tools and standards;• Building of in-house capacity;• A level playing field for all project

participants;• Shorter project ramp-up time, shorter

duration and earlier completion;• Improved decision making through the

use of standard processes and tools;• Identification of integration opportunities;• Support for cultural/transformational

change.

Project Management MethodologyThe PMO has adopted the Ontario Public Service Project Management Framework as best practice for Central East LHIN projects. The framework addresses the key project management knowledge areas and is aligned with PMI’s Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK) - the recognized standard of project management practice. The framework also incorporates a five phase project management methodology.
