Question:
- What is the process for submitting a new project request after the annual planning process (off cycle)?
Answer:
- If a project sponsor has a new project request off cycle (after the annual planning process is completed and projects for the year have already been determined), a submission for a New Off-Cycle New Priorities/New Project Proposal Process will be necessary. For more detailed information see University Planning Project Proposal Process Off Cycle Diagram.
A new project requires review when it:
- Has a start and end date and clearly defined scope
- Focused on creating something new (service, process, outcome)
- Not related to routine ongoing activities or current services provided
- Anticipated to take more than 40 hours of work to complete
- Would fall within sections 1(strategic activity), 2 (master plan activity) or 3 (requires other department or division resources) of the work plan
- Requires cross-university visibility, discussion and awareness
- May benefit from quarterly progress reporting
- May benefit from project management resources
