PKC PMO
Definition update about PKC: PKC is not a project is an Idea (a project has closure and PKC is eternal).
PKC content must be pattern and re-organize all volatile information, requiring an editing comprehension to make it more user friendly and people accessible This also intents to prevent continuous re-editing on the same context, using a “branching process” instead.
PKC is composed by the following portfolios: Meta University; Inter-Organizational Workflow; PKC Engine; PKC Spin-off
PKC is managed by a state-of-the-art PMO ('PKC PMO') based on a Disciplined Agile approach (PMI)
PKC first project is W3T3
Integration Plan
Intro
PKC is a high complex platform with multiple purposes which requires to define clearly each branch and be able to build new ones. Integration management plan needs to create a structure for this connections between divisions and branches.
All portfolios, programs and projects will be recorded in a whole platform. 2022 it will be use Trackonperformance.com (TOP) 2023 it will use a "white label" structure to create its own independency
PKC will be managed project-oriented through PKC PMO and Project management will adopt hybrid development approaches:
- predicted in yearly plans or long term projects (such as education)
- adaptive in research projects with no date to finished, just apply time management, no specific clearance on the scope
- Iterative incremental (known as Agile) during development projects, or short project cycles/iterations from main projects in order to provide faster control
- Iterative in lining projects such as industry or education recurrent activities
W3T3 will use a combine cycle of prediction with Agile since there is a milestone date such as G20 that can't fail, and at same time there is several steps of development to take care where short iterations will be done using AGILE methodology.
PKC PMO responsibilities will make sure that:
- the projects initiate with the proper plan, with estimations, milestones, allocations and budget approved, but also with the proper technical documentation register, concluding visual support
- the projects will be finished on time, with the proper quality defined and with the proper documentation of all learning experiences in order to avoid redundancy
- can prevent any project collapse in time and solve it, either with fast tracking or crashing, having always management reserves or the cause.
Allocations
PKC resources will be composed by:
- Development team (Dev)
- PMO team (PMO)
- Education team (Edu)
- Marketing/PR/Social media (if necessary) (MKT)
- Invited guests (Guests)
Teams will be composed from different countries and different skills
Facilities
Most of the work will be virtual, however, it is planned to exit 4 facilities in Indonesia: Bali (head), Jakarta, and
The Facilities will be essential for the education development
Time management
All tasks will be recorded according to estimated time and Real time TOP will be the instrument to record that data, essential to control requirements of compliance
How to build a project process
Projects scope must be described on PKC on the following structure (PKC Project page structure):
- Intro (no title)
- Product Scope
- Project Scope
- History factors (in case it needed or if exists)
- Logic Model (Purpose, Problem-solving or how project differ from others, success criteria; inputs, process, Outputs) There is a template for the logic model in here.
- Define project needs (resources, time, costs)
- Define context (if needed e.g. education - What, How, why, etc... of curriculum or programs)
- Quality issues or boundary conditions
- Stakeholders identification
- Budget

Scope (define)
PKC PMO is the managing structure of PKC, based on a state-of-the-art project management approach called Disciplined Agile (DA)
PKC PMO operates all the environment and events management using PKC engine and using the concept of Ouroboros (or, producing what it's build by its own) to produce its products and projects.
PKC PMO is also open-source based which means that all the process of data governance and reporting is explicit demonstrated and register in PKC
Scope should be define no matter the uncertainty, however in different approaches, in case of being more predictive or adaptive.
Schedule (time) Management
- For more predictive projects, define time estimations to the whole projects and manage risks for uncertainty instead
- For more adaptive projects, define time estimations through all possible packages or user stories and manage the project with uncertainty by several iteration cycles
Time management will be recorded and performed through TOP
TOP will allow the PMO to record the real time effort of the projects, which will help on lessons learn for the future
Cost (Budget) Management
Planning working Costs are defined by time estimations and allocation rates (hourly salary rate) Real working Costs are defined by real time and allocation rates at that period of time
Additional to human resources cost management are materials and services, which might be integrated on tasks or not.
Quality Plan
Quality is applied according to the Quality control Protocol, where all steps must be followed for prevention and control to all products and projects of PKC
PKC PMO must guarantee the quality control of its organization and it's the main accountable
Quality control protocol:
- Define the Documentation process (process described here)
- Define the idea as a concept (product)
- Create the components in a Portfolio of the product (Visual documentation of exactly how it works for programming, follow the documentation in (portfolio)
- Define mostly Tolerances and Control limits for production
- Tolerances (or specification limits) for the user side
- Control limits for the "process" side
User in PKC organization is composed by the students/trainers and the external sponsors of the project. Tolerances intent to respect the student and sponsors expectations (such as proper education, success

Communication plan
Principles:
- Everybody is self accountable therefore it is expected to know their job avoiding unnecessary redundancy
- Everyone is self accountable on planning and reporting daily operations for quality control
Risk Management
The following risk categories are identified:
- Recruiting
- Lack of Hardware/issues with supply
- External events (environment actions such as storms or tsunamis; Political decisions; Economical constrains)
- (It can be a challenge due for the lack of timing and possible budget constrictions)
- Risk Strategy:
- Risk Response: (Boolean) Threat or Opportunity
- Options: (e.g. for Recruiting, a Fast-Track or Crashing options are good but only in more complementary components; Better documentation means
