Project Management Office
What We Do
Since 2019, the PMO has managed or monitored an average of eighty technology projects each year. Project work only represents a portion of the work of IT. In addition to discreet projects, IT teams are responsible for ongoing operational work each year to make sure that the systems our students, staff, and faculty use are up to date and secure, integrated into our network, and supported by our Service Desk.
Why do we need a PMO?
Choosing an online application or system to manage your business proceses, or moving from one tool to another, can be daunting. The PMO is here to help guide these efforts and engage IT teams as needed. We will first ask, "What problem are you trying to solve?". Once your business requirements are clear, we will work closely with all stakeholders to identify the right tool, as well as the technical and functional teams, to map out and execute this work. We aim to do the right projects at the right time.
Have a project?
Are you in need of technology to solve a business question? We are here to help! Below are the first steps to consider when you need IT resources to move forward.
Step 2: Submit project proposal form
This will help us learn some of the basics of your project.
Step 3: Pre-project checklist
A member of the PMO will work with you to complete this check list.
