The P3O® Foundation (2013) manual identifies providing a secretariat service to management boards as a non-PPM function often undertaken by a P3O for business efficiency. Section 7.2.3 states, "The P3O may provide secretariat services to management boards, including organizing meetings and documenting decisions, to enhance efficiency and support governance." This contrasts with challenging project data (A), scrutinizing impacts (B), and escalating risks (C), which are PPM-related functions. The 2013 edition highlights this administrative support as a value-added service, leveraging P3O’s centralized position to streamline board activities. This role reduces duplication, ensuring management boards focus on strategic oversight, aligning with the P3O’s broader support mandate across the organization.
