A Partnership in IT Project Prioritization: How to Say Yes or No

Partnerships are a perennial EDUCAUSE top 10 IT issue. In this session, we will discuss a case study of a Project Management Center of Excellence (PMCOE) office and an IT project prioritization process that completed a very successful first year. Learn how the new IT prioritization model was designed to be institutionally focused, while representative of all campus stakeholders by having the PMCOE office partner with ITS to manage projects on campus, as well as to facilitate the IT prioritization process. We will share successes and challenges faced when rolling out a project management and prioritization program and work with sample templates to help make your campus successful.

OUTCOMES: Learn the importance of partnerships/collaboration for IT projects * Review examples of UW-Platteville leadership taking ownership for projects * Practice reviewing projects with sample toolsets
