IT Project Approach

Before IT work becomes a technology project, the project is defined, classified, risk factor assessed and then must be reviewed and approved at, and by, key leadership gatekeepers. IT projects are grouped and prioritized into areas that are aligned with the President's goals and then measured.

Projects follow a life cycle.

These documents are used to facilitate the project management process: Assessment, Survey, Thumbnail, Request & Plan, and Status Report.
