Projects are evaluated during the proposed phase to:
- associate the project with the appropriate portfolio
- select the highest priority projects for execution with available resource
- validate that resources are available prior to project initiation
As projects progress through the proposed phase, the following series of evaluations &/or qualifications are completed for projects in VP-CIO Area portfolios.
Proposed Phase Status |
|
|---|---|
Draft |
Once a project need has been identified and validated, members of the ITS or InfoSec teams work with external sponsors, customers, and users to draft a proposal. This proposal contains, at a minimum, the name and description of the project. |
Proposed to a Portfolio |
Once the project proposal is complete, a CIO leadership sponsor is identified and the project is proposed to one of the VP-CIO Area Portfolios. The Portfolio Manager(s) review and either accept into the current Portfolio or transfer the project proposal to a more suitable Portfolio. |
Sponsored by a Portfolio |
Once the project is sponsored on a portfolio, the CIO leadership sponsor facilitates the preparation of the following information:
Once the elements above are available, the CIO leadership sponsor either moves the project to Initiate (for team-specific Portfolios) or schedules the CIO Leadership Team review (CIO Portfolio) |
Ready for Review(CIO Portfolio Only) |
During this review, the CIO Leadership Team reviews the proposal information, verifies that resources are available across all involved VP-CIO Area teams, and verifies/identifies a project manager. Projects can either proceed to Initiation, remain in the Proposed phase, or be canceled as a result of this review. |
