OIT Work to Project Lifecycle – Functional Flow

OIT Assess

  1. Work request received
  2. Customer collaboration & work understanding (clarify goals, outcomes, stakeholders)
  3. Solution collaboration (create milestone/WBS preview: scope, timeline, budget, risks, dependencies)
  4. TAG Preview (initial technical solution review by OIT SME's checkpoint)
  5. Decision point: does it meet Operational Criteria or Project Criteria?
    • If Operational Criteria: OIT Ops Team completes the work.
    • If Project Criteria: request proceeds for full assessment/scoring.

Governance Decision

  1. OIT PMO reviews prioritized pipeline report based on assessment score (assessment results)
  2. Information Technology Portfolio Governance (ITPG) (governance checkpoint)
  3. Decision: Approved vs Not Approved
    • If Approved: prioritized with the current work pipeline.
    • If Not Approved: routed to Ops Delivery.
Outcome: Customer is notified of status.

PMO Delivery

  1. OIT PMO framework (delivery approach defined)
  2. Plan (scope, schedule, stakeholders, risks, communications)
  3. Execute (build/deliver, manage changes, track progress)
  4. Customer delivery agreement (acceptance & handoff)
  5. Close (final documentation, outcomes, lessons learned)

Governance Reporting

  • ITPMO Status Reporting – Twice monthly OIT Leadership review of PMO portolio projects for status and value decision making
  • Information Technology Portfolio Governance (ITPG) Monthly Portfolio Review of new requests - Prioritization Report
