Sometimes plans may go awry, askew, even sideways. When this occurs, there is a proper, rigid, governance-oriented way to ensure that the impact to other aspects of a program or project is not affected, while proper documentation is achieved with a stringent approval process in order to ensure this is not done without provocation. 

No program or project can be accomplished without proper communication. The communications register within the AMIGO platform is a tool that can integrate a communication plan, and its associated individuals (within a RACI matrix) that will be tasked with carrying out the plan. The register is the oversight mechanism that will allow for program or project optics, its definition of stakeholders, and or workstreams to target to as well. One source of truth! 

The creation of gates is a project-level module that allows for the naming, description, phase, or milestone application within the AMIGO platform. It is applicable to the governance, and the operational readiness cutover processes portions of the platform. 

This module is a project-level addendum to a specific gate (that is assigned within this module). Definition of specific metric, readiness metric, source, measurement, area and group associations, results (minimum and actual), documented evidence provide clarity throughout this process. 

Often within programs or projects, an issue will arise. This can be minimal impact, or impactful enough to escalate and change requests. In order to meet proper governance and documentation, risk assessment, and or resolution, this module provides a robust area to accomplish this. Within the AMIGO platform, everything is tied together, assuring disconnection does not take place. This is an outstretch of the solidifying nature of the platform. 

On the program level of the AMIGO platform, reside this module to track, vet, and approve or reject key decisions impacting the program itself. This provides a level of documentation in order for a viable audit path during or post initiative. 

Hindsight is twenty-twenty, or so they say. This module is one for allowing the missteps, mistakes, or misfires to be well documented, that an organization may learn and not repeat the past in terms of ignorance. This AMIGO platform module is a valuable tool for budgeting and planning for the next program or project. 

The points or milestones that will bring value and or how the organization will value the goals set, as well as if the plan is congruent to the initial goals, and or if the goals (or plan itself) need to be modified. 

The proper way to document attendance, topics, action items, and decisions is located within this module of the AMIGO platform. 

AMIGO in its nature is methodology agnostic. Meaning that multiple methodologies can be applied within the platform (more succinctly referring to programs) that allow for efficient direction for any program. Methodologies can be input into the platform, or an organization can leverage the methodology templates created for and by Platinum PMO. 

In this module within AMIGO, there is the ability to associate a methodology (defined earlier) to a specific grouping. Giving clarity to the activity phase, purpose, key activities, and procedures, general inputs and outputs, that associate to specific work package types. 

A repository for everything related to your program or projects. You are able to utilize the PMI standard set of terms or add your organization’s specific terms as they relate to your needs. 

Risk management is something that will yield tremendous value when done properly, and something that can kill your program if not managed. The AMIGO platform provides this meticulous module in order to state, evaluate and place validated contingency plans should the risk be realized.
