Coworking spaces operate like startup campuses providing a fertile breeding ground for collaboration between entrepreneurs, designers and developers. Coworkers develop their own business having the opportunity for collaboration with others in a myriad of realms: software development, finance, legal, marketing, product management design. "Who really are coworkers?"
Almost every activity needed to launch and develop a business could take place in a project environment. Sometimes the whole business can be considered as a project itself. So coworkers should act as project managers but, except if they had work experience at big and structured companies, they probably don't know how to properly apply project management practices, tools and techniques. Coworkers have to become comanagers.
A Project Management Office (PMO) is a group or department staffed by big companies to establish and implement best practices and maintain standards related to project management, planning, execution and quality metrics. The PMO serves as a focal point for project documentation (providing proper templates and samples - a.k.a. budget, schedule, project plan, business plan, etc.) and for guidance and success metrics (with training and support in applying project management best practices).
With comanagement™ we take the concept of "coworking workplace" to the next level. Merging standard coworking facilities with PMO services, allows entrepreneurs, startuppers and SMEs to benefit of high-profile support and services, as well as they would be part of a bigger enterprise, but leaving them working on their own projects with the agility and advantages of their smaller scale. We offer comanagement™ solutions at prices that can be compared to those of standard coworking workplaces.

In addition to training and consultancy, PM.FAM™
is the only company authorized to deliver comanagement™ services, actually at our
Comanagement Center in Rome and soon around Italy.
Comanagement™ is a trademark owned by PM.FAM founders.
We conceived comanagement™ services as a boosting performance factor for SMEs, entrepreneurs, startups and nomad workers, but bigger companies can take profit from this model too. How much does a permanent cubicle workspace cost ICT Companies? And can they justify its cost? Why not start to downsize that big headquarter locations with hundred of knowledge workers, normally forced to spent 2-3 hours a day in traffic to reach their desk? Far better for them all to have a networked organisation, allocating work-teams on a permanent or occasional basis at different comanagement center, which will reduce costs for companies and the need for travelling for knowledge workers. Is that vision utopian or a realistic ambition?
