Projects, Programs, and Governance

The Projects, Programs, and Governance (PPG) department tracks, organizes, and facilitates project management planning and project life cycles. All responsibilities of the Projects, Programs, and Governance department help IS&T perform as an efficient service provider for the BU community.

 

• Annual Planning and Budgeting – Manage IS&T’s annual process for planning large IS&T projects in support of BU’s Strategy and BU’s Technology Plan. Working closely with the six IS&T governance committees, we prioritize the most important areas to invest resources and funding each year, and propose these projects to the University Budget Committee.
• Portfolio Management – Working closely with clients, the PMO manages program area project portfolios to establish priorities with clients for new projects and plan resources accordingly. We also report on the status of current active projects and maintain program area roadmaps.
• Project Management – Manage the execution of major IS&T projects using our Project Lifecycle Process, which is based on best practices such as Prince2, ITIL, and TOGAF. Our project managers and business analysts work across IS&T and with clients to execute projects in line with project sponsor expectations.
