SGHE Summit – An Efficient Means for IT Planning

An Efficient Means for IT Planning – Aims College

Andria Brabo – andria.brabo@aims.edu, Dr Gary Bardsley gary.bardsley@aims.edu

• used project portfolio planning process – using Word Docs and a Wiki to coordinate projects across a small IT shop of 26 people.

Challenges

• lack of communication
• staff turnover
• project managers making promises without checking with implementers
• cross platform – Mac vs PC

Approach

• create a PPP document that articulates the dependencies and deliverables required from each area to make the project a success
• looks to me like a blend of project plan and project charter
• the PPP held the teams accountable
• if the project requires more than one dept then you need to create a PPP
