Implement Project Portfolio Management solution



Initiative TitleImplement Project Portfolio Management solution
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

Recently, the IS Group of the IT department has begun standardizing the procedure of planning and executing IT projects. We would like to further develop the project management services offered by the IT to the rest of the college. In order to do this, we need a means to coherently manage multiple projects simultaneously while tracking resources, time, and providing a visibility into the status to the upper management at any given moment without having to request and wait for a status report. A comprehensive Project Portfolio Management solution would allow us to start taking steps towards managing the projects consistently and increasing the communication with the stakeholders.

Consequences of this initiative not being funded

The IT department will not be able to deliver projects in a consistent manner. As a result, it will be difficult to set expectations for the users and administration.

Department GoalsBecome a collaborative and supportive organizational asset.

Institutional Goals

Goal How will the initiative support this institutional goal?
Implementing any technological solution constitutes a project. As a rule, the IT has to manage multiple projects at the same time. the PPM tool would allow us to do this more efficiently while increasing the communication and streamlining the service
Expanding the document imaging is a sizable project. A PPM tool would allow us to manage and track in an organized fashion.
The PPM tool would allow for the transparency in communication of the projects with the college constituents.
Project Management services offer an innovation in how the projects are being delivered, as well as an opportunity for continuous improvement of how the projects are delivered. Having a tool that centralizes the PM activities will serve as the next level of innovation.
In participating in project planning, the constituents will further understand the value of comprehensive planning and institutional effectiveness as opposed to simply implementing a system for the sake of having something new.
