A Week in the Life of a Portfolio Management Office (PMO) Manager at Enfield Council 
Curious what it’s like to be in this role? Here’s a glimpse into a typical week… 
~~Monday~~ 
You start the week with a morning sync with the Digital Services Senior Management Team. As PMO Manager, your role is to ensure the portfolio of projects is running smoothly and transparently. You review the latest updates in the PPM tools, checking for any overdue actions or risks flagged by project managers. 
Mid-morning, you meet with the Digital Adoption Manager to align on the overall portfolio plan. You discuss dependencies across workstreams and ensure the scheduling reflects operational realities. After lunch, you prepare a dashboard for the Head of Project Delivery and Governance, summarising delivery status, budget health, and resource utilisation across the portfolio. 
You end the day by reviewing feedback from last week’s project management workshop and begin drafting improvements to the toolkit and templates. 
 
~~Tuesday~~ 
You begin with a quick stand-up with your PMO Analyst and Data Apprentice. You assign tasks for the week, including updates to the resource tracker and coordination of the Ideas pipeline. 
Later, you join a scoping session for a new digital initiative. You support the team by capturing key actions, risks, and dependencies, and ensure they’re logged in the PMO platform. You also advise on how to structure the business case to meet governance requirements. 
In the afternoon, you meet with operational managers to understand BAU pressures and how they might impact delivery timelines. You update the portfolio plan accordingly and flag any concerns to the Head of Digital Delivery. 
 
~~Wednesday~~ 
You start the day by compiling the weekly status report. You pull data from a number of data sources to ensure financials are accurate and up to date. You also chase a few project leads for missing updates. 
Midday, you attend a lessons learned workshop for a recently closed project. You facilitate the session, capturing insights and recommendations to feed into future delivery. You also update the PMO knowledge base with new guidance on risk mitigation and stakeholder engagement. 
Later, you meet with the Communications team to plan a blog post about the Council’s approach to portfolio management and how it supports digital transformation. 
 
~~Thursday~~ 
No stand-up today, so you focus on continuous improvement. You spend the morning reviewing the PMO processes and identifying opportunities to automate reporting and reduce duplication. You test a new dashboard prototype that pulls real-time data from the PPM tools. 
Just before lunch, you have your weekly 1-to-1 with the Head of Project Delivery and Governance. You discuss progress on the Ideas pipeline, resource allocation challenges, and upcoming governance board meetings. 
In the afternoon, you support a project manager preparing for a project board meeting. You help refine the presentation, ensure risks are clearly articulated, and confirm that all documentation is in place. 
 
~~Friday~~ 
You start the day by finalising the monthly portfolio health report. It includes delivery RAG ratings, budget forecasts, and benefits tracking. You send it to senior stakeholders and prepare talking points for next week’s governance board. 
Mid-morning, you join a webinar on emerging technologies in project management. You’re particularly interested in how AI and RPA can enhance PMO functions, and you make a note to explore pilot opportunities. 
After lunch, you attend the Digital Services retro and planning meeting. You share highlights from your week and outline priorities for the next. A colleague asks for help with a new project intake process—you volunteer. 
You end the week by tidying up your notes, updating the PMO calendar, and making sure everything’s ready for another busy week.
