Relationship Between University Planning and the Project Management Office (PMO)

pmo project-management IET

University PMO gets its project work/assignments from the annual work plans created by University Planning.
University Planning process:
- Annually, members of the President's Executive Cabinet (PEC) document their division work plan.
- Division work plans are a list of high-priority activities (projects, initiatives) for the fiscal year.
- Division work plan projects are in support of:
  - Strategic Plan goals
  - Master Plan goals/strategies
  - Other division priorities
- PEC reviews all plans and discusses cross-division resource needs and prioritization.
- Facilitated by Alec Campbell, Institutional Effectiveness and Research (IER) on behalf of the President.
