PMO, in consulting is just applying one piece of the Project Management aspect (Monitoring)
In reality Project Management involves a few more steps, Initiation, Scoping, Planning, Resourcing, Execution, Monitoring, and Closing. (each model varies)
Monitoring sucks, no one wants to do it. But its necessary. Hence why the PMO role exists, make some analyst track the project and go from there.
A project usually has those phases, smaller efforts are glorified tasks and workstreams in support of a project

This is the best explanation I've ever read on why my job sucks.

"Project" is just a word for 'stuff happening.'
I'm on the "F500 client project" managing an "implementation project" where 10 project managers have various "development projects" going on. There is also an "engagement project" where we are trying to gain additional business.
Ideally a project would have a definitive start/end. Otherwise you are in an Ops role. Just keep sending my checks and I'll do whatever...
A “project” generally has a well-defined scope of work, with clear beginning/end points, milestones, tasks, deliverables, and other measurable outcomes. However, in consultant-speak some “projects” can have indefinite endpoints and are actually just ongoing “programs” rather than “projects.”
Yes this is normal. You're adding criteria to the term project that aren't consistent with how the term is always used in practice
Engagement coordination vs project management - tracking and monitoring of activities agreed upon in SOW :-)

Take a look at your SOW to get a better understanding of the scope of work and deliverables

Haha, that wouldn’t fly at most big4. It’s good to have deliverables recorded to justify fees billed.
