  • Capture actions, decisions, and escalations; ensure follow-through and closure. 
  • Prepare clear status reporting (progress, risks, issues, dependencies, and upcoming milestones) for leadership forums. 

Track benefits / value realization (supporting role)

 

  • Support definition of expected benefits, baselines, and measurement approach (in partnership with Finance and program leadership). 
  • Track and report key value metrics and leading indicators; highlight variance and risks to expected outcomes. 
  • Maintain benefits tracking materials and support forecast updates as requested. 

Manage risks, issues, dependencies, and change control

 

  • Identify risks and issues early; document impact and propose mitigation options for review. 
  • Track cross-team dependencies and handoffs; confirm owners and dates. 
  • Support scope change intake and impact assessment; maintain change logs and approvals. 

Support change, adoption, and readiness

 

  • Coordinate readiness activities (training logistics, communications tracking, cutover checklists, stakeholder inputs). 
  • Help ensure operational handoffs are documented and stakeholders are prepared for go-live and stabilization. 

Apply standards and continuous improvement

 

  • Execute delivery using PMO/TMO templates, reporting standards, and basic quality controls. 
  • Capture lessons learned and contribute ideas to strengthen repeatable delivery practices. 

 

 

How Success Will Be Measured 

  • Execution reliability: project plans are current; milestones, actions, and deliverables are tracked with minimal slippage surprises. 
  • Cadence quality: meetings are well-run; actions/decisions are documented and closed on time. 
  • Reporting clarity: status updates are accurate, timely, and highlight the right risks and dependencies. 
  • Risk and issue management: risks/issues are identified early, logged, and escalated appropriately with clear mitigation steps. 
  • Stakeholder coordination: teams stay aligned; communications are consistent; dependencies are actively managed. 
  • Benefits tracking support: value metrics are maintained and reported consistently; variance is surfaced early. 
  • Standards compliance: PMO/TMO templates and artifacts are complete, organised, and audit-ready.
