About the DoIT Project Management Office:DoIT established a Project Management Office (PMO) in the fall of 2023 to ensure consistent project management processes, align project objectives with divisional and university strategic goals, and improve stakeholder communication. The PMO has made significant strides in building a project management framework in DoIT to better support our campus partners in critical IT projects.
Initial activities to establish the office included defining and streamlining project management processes for consistency and efficiency, introducing portfolio reporting for real-time project progress tracking for stakeholders and IT committees, and launching a new project management tool, Smartsheet, to improve team collaboration and tracking. In the coming year, the PMO team plans to increase its capacity to support projects across campus, continue developing reporting and project management capabilities, and expand project management practices throughout campus. Read more about the PMO in the annual report, and if you have feedback or thoughts, please contact Ally Hepp at ahepp@umbc.edu.
