project onboarding & prioritization?

Paul,

We're just working this out now too at uchicago. I'll be happy to share what we did, how it fared, what we learned with itana by and by. Technical architectural review to gather data and inform design will be a part of the process for many, though probably not all, projects.

Hi everyone,

We are hoping to learn from other schools around their project onboarding and prioritization processes. I'm linking the two processes because it seems like you can't really prioritize projects without sufficient data upon which to make decisions (which is what we're really after).

Do any of you have a documented process that works well for you that we could look at?

Thanks,

-p

Paul,

Reinforcing Colleen's note, Carnegie Mellon has a relatively mature project initiation process.  We are less successful at prioritization, but do we do focus in making sure we have the right level of detail for decision-making (including technical architecture consultation) to intelligently review requests.
