1.0 Overview
The mission of the Project Management Office is to provide a consistent approach to
identify, prioritize and successfully execute a portfolio of IT initiatives and projects.
Our goals:
Office of Information Technology projects range from simple, low risk endeavors to
larger, more complex initiatives with high degrees of risk requiring significant
human and/or financial resources. The Project Management Office (PMO) guidelines
describe the project management methodology which should guide the
management of projects in the Office of Information Technology.
It defines reporting thresholds for a project according to its level of complexity and
risk. There are two key principles that should guide OIT project managers as they
implement projects using these guidelines. First, every effort should be made to
communicate clearly with project sponsors, stakeholders, IT management, project
team members, and interested customers. Second, project managers should take
advantage of every opportunity to reduce complexity and manage scope.
Complexity and unmanaged scope increases cost, puts timelines and quality at risk
and makes maintenance more difficult.

The ultimate decision about a projects scope is the responsibility of the project
sponsor, project manager and the key stakeholders. Once a projects scope has
been established it will drive the level of documentation and management oversight
required.
