Portfolios & Guidelines
There are two types of portfolios utilized in the CIO Area:
- CIO Portfolio – VP-CIO Area strategic projects
- Team-specific Portfolios
A project can only be associated with one portfolio. Projects can and will transition between the CIO Portfolio and Team-specific portfolios as warranted, by improved clarity &/or scope clarifications during the project lifecycle.
The CIO Portfolio contains strategic projects as defined by one or more of the criteria below.
CIO Portfolio Project Criteria:
- Projects on VP-CIO Goals
- Projects on CIO Roadmaps
- Projects that further our ITSM/PPM process maturity
- Especially high profile and/or complex technology projects
- Projects requiring significant effort (>80 Hours) from multiple CIO areas
- Project prioritization score = High (>12)
- Other projects designated/approved as strategic or critical by CIO leadership team (informed via Executive Directive, strong ITAC support, strong support from LSP Steering Committee, etc.)
CIO Portfolio Project Guidelines:
Projects in the CIO Portfolio are expected to complete the following:
- Project Charter, Plan (including schedule, budget, & resource requirements), Risk Register, and Communications Plan
- Monthly Scorecard updates once project reaches Plan phase (due at the end of the month)
