Abstract

As IT makes up a growing percentage of campus budgets, technology leaders are under increasing pressure to contain costs, align IT projects with institutional mission, and develop strategic management methods for oversight. This seminar will provide a brief review of best practices in project management, including project portfolio management at the institutional level. The focus will be on methods to engage executives, define decision processes, and develop good practices for the selection and sponsorship of projects. The format of this seminar is designed to review a range of concepts and seek practical application.
