Project Management Office (PMO)

The PMO is here to help you manage strategic, tactical or operational projects. 

Our project managers will:

  • Manage your endeavor through the project lifecycle
  • Apply project management best practices
  • Assist you with project status reports
  • Engage with customer end user, vendor and sponsor
  • Oversee project communication, among other processes

If you would like project management assistance, or have questions regarding an active or closed project, please email PMO Director John Penrose.

Access the UIT Business Case Template.

Project operations guidelines

  • The PMO uses Microsoft Teams, SharePoint sites, and Exchange/Outlook (UMail), university telephone numbers, and voicemail for project communication, meetings, document sharing and collaboration, and conveying the availability status of project personnel.
  • The PMO strives for continuous team collaboration during a project through recurring, scheduled meetings (virtual, in-person, or both) with regular attendance of project team members. When a team member cannot attend, the project team should provide a delegate.
  • Project team members should review project artifacts, such as project charters, project plans, meeting minutes, and assignments and provide corrections as soon as possible to hasten progress. 

Project Management Dashboard

Keep up to date on active PMO projects by visiting the Project Management Dashboard (authentication required).

The purpose of the dashboard is to provide the status of a particular project or overall projects managed by University IT in ServiceNow, UIT's service management platform. You can see which project manager is overseeing a project, and hover over the project name, overall health, schedule, scope, budget, etc. to view a quick summary.
