     and integrate resulting recommendations into the PMO methodology and training

     sharing, cross-functional collaboration, and the identification of new best
     practices from project teams.
  
  ### C. Stakeholder Management
  
   * Act as a single point of contact for senior stakeholders, external vendors 
     and cross-functional teams on PMO – related matters.

     dashboards, status reports, and presentations for leadership.
