Project Management Methodology for Computing Services

Computing Services Division has committed to a stronger focus on project management methodology for the projects included in the division’s tactical plan. Computing Services is becoming a “project-driven” organization, focusing on proactive oversight of projects to ensure success.

The PPMO had developed a methodology for project management to enable the project leads in the division to more effectively manage both the projects which are submitted to the portfolio planning process, as well as the internal projects that are done by each of the directorates.

By using a sound project management methodology, it is easier to plan for the risks that a project might face, limit the growth of the project's scope, estimate resources and budgets more effectively, and develop techniques for communicating the status of your project to keep your stakeholders informed of your progress.

As a division, we use TeamDynamix as a tool for our portfolio planning and project management efforts.
