Process improvement: Review your program performance against established baselines, identify significant variances in program results, and recommends corrective actions.
Take one of your PM processes and review all of your organizations projects to make sure the PM is compiling with your policies.
Review the lessons learned from projects (lessons learned are done throughout the lifecycle of a project not just at the end).
