• Provide ongoing communication to sponsor and stakeholders to manage expectations and keep them informed about progress and impediments.
• Review project deliverables to ensure they meet requirements and quality standards.
• Drive process and tooling improvements to increase throughput and output quality.
• Participate in setting best practices for project management principles for the PMO, and identify process improvement opportunities helping teams to be more efficient.
