That's less painful than the real PMO practice.

I hate just throwing the word opportunity after everything to make it more palatable.  According to corporate wisdom, it's the opposite of strengths, as in here's a list of our strengths and opportunities, so when someone says there's an opportunity, it comes loaded with baggage in a corporate environment because the normal context of the word usually isn't positive.

Do you want to go to dinner?  I have a dinner opportunity for you.  Would you like a car?  How would you like a car opportunity?  Here's a new job.  Here's a new job opportunity.  Do you like my dog?  I don't have a dog, but I have a dog opportunity.  See...extraneous or causing diminution of the original phrase.  It denotes a lack of action.  Just say, "We're tuning."  If you're not sure whether to pursue it or not, then it's not an opportunity, it's not doing something.

Snarky: He said it was a tuning opportunity.  Then he hit me with a fork.
