What are Gatekeeper/Watchdog Roles?
Gatekeeper and watchdog roles are crucial in protecting organizations from potential threats. These roles serve as a line of defense against unauthorized access and malicious activities, ultimately safeguarding the integrity and reputation of the organization.
In a PMO, the core functions are resource planning in projects, work planning, and effort estimation—project manager/team leader coordination. For most large-scale initiatives, this can become daunting, especially if you have a first-time or inexperienced PMO.
A gatekeeper or watchdog role is usually an agnostic, external resource that can:
- Advise
- Assist
- Detail what to do or how to handle other internal and external resources that most initiatives take on in the implementation
- Hold vendors accountable for their contracts
- Ensure execution of expected deliverables
- Ensure the organization has proper expectations
