One of the flagship projects for Agilify is establishing the Portfolio and Project Management Office (PPMO) for the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH). Our team is currently working with the executive leadership and stakeholders to set up a Portfolio and Project Management Office (PPMO), that serves to provide guidance, best practice standards and a governance structure to all the project performed by Louisiana Department of Health. The focus of this engagement has also been to move from traditional project management approach to more Agile and Lean way of doing things, where processes are flexible and quick to adapt to changes and value is delivered incrementally and much early in the life of the project.

With just over 2 years into this engagement, there has been a drastic increase in the number of projects getting completed on time and meeting compliance standards as well, to get the funding from Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). There is more visibility into key metrics and the management is able to make much more informed decisions and hence be more pro-active, as opposed to be reactive to changing situations. The result is that over 1.7 million Medicaid and over 0.88 million Medicare enrollees are getting access to the much-needed healthcare services in a much efficient manner.
