Annual IT Planning Process

Each year, a comprehensive review of information technology (IT) requests (i.e. maintenance, process improvement, enhancements, new functionality) for University systems is performed. Project requests are submitted and consolidated by the Project Managers Team (PMT) for review and endorsement by the Administrative Technologies, Common Services and Teaching & Learning Technologies Committees. The requests are evaluated based on benefit/need, visibility/impact, cost and risk, and those endorsed become part of the OIT Project Portfolio.
