Advisor. Instructor. Speaker. Author. PMOpreneur.

Hi, I’m Hussain Bandukwala. When I started my career in management & technology consulting (including with a Big 4 firm), I was thrown into the deep-end and had to learn project, program and PMO management – on-the-job, from scratch! Needless to say, there were a few heartbreaks and a ton of mistakes.

I still see so many PMO leaders fall into the same traps. That’s why I started Parwaaz Consulting in 2014, so you can avoid these pitfalls and become the PMO leader you’re destined to be – faster.

It remains clear to me that despite the evolution and increasing complexities of project management and PMOs, the fundamentals are being sacrificed to adapt to the latest trends and the innate desire to appease stakeholders quickly.

Unsurprisingly, research shows that 50% of PMOs fail within the first 3 years of their existence.

I know we can turn it on its head because PMOs are far more valuable than the probability of a coin toss!

Our clients love us, and here's what they have to say.

We were fortunate to have Hussain’s expertise and guidance as a consultant within our project management functions. Our company was at the start of rocket ship growth and in need of training and excellence within the PM functions across several departments.

His high-level of knowledge of PMOs and ability to galvanize across various teams and stakeholders groups to create a shared vision was extremely beneficial. He successfully helped us to assess current state, provided informative training, and helped to lay a foundation for what is now a highly efficient PMO. In addition to the tremendous help he provided, he is also a joy to collaborate with!

Director Talent Development, Fortna

Hussain is a strategic and effective consultant on all things PMO. He is able to communicate and distill project management and PMO strategy exceptionally well. This clarity and synthesis is key to successfully introducing and implementing project

management to Data Science. Hussain is also a creative and effective problem solver, a great communicator and enjoyable to work with. I hope to work with Hussain in the future and recommend his LinkedIn learning to anyone who does not have the chance to work with him directly.

Curren Katz

Sr. Director Data Science, Johnson & Johnson

We've worked directly with Hussain to provide support in the redesign of one of our internal PMOs. Hussain is incredibly easy to work with, quick to understand the needs of the business. Intuitive in understanding the nuances of different

personalities and adapting his style to match. The results of our engagement with Hussain were a nearly 180-degree turnaround from where the PMO operated previously, not only for the internal stakeholders but for the PMO staff as well. We wouldn't hesitate to use Hussain again and I'd personally recommend him, and have, to industry colleagues.

I worked with Hussain as a mentor and coach when I took on the Global PMO role at FINCA Impact Finance. And his guidance and support were instrumental to my success in the PMO role.

Rita Apell Akot

Director Global PMO, FINCA Impact Finance

In the year since working with Hussain, our PMO has elevated its level of maturity. Much of the framework & foundation for these accomplishments started with a conversation with him.

David Fortin

Head of PMO, Andritz

We engaged Hussain to advise us on setting up the PMO for one of Pearson's fastest growing business units. We were in the process of establishing a foundation for several product launches in 2020 and needed a strong Program Management Office that would ensure

that product releases would be launched on-time and on budget. Hussain provided a lot of value in a very short period of time: he was able to surgically pin-point key areas of future risk and helped developed a plan to mitigate those risks. He also helped fill knowledge gap for our PMO Lead, so that he was well-positioned to launch the PMO office in Q1 2020. Hussain is knowledgeable, personable and his coaching & PMO leadership support provided us with a very high ROI. I would strongly recommend him for any organization seeking PMO advisory services.
