EPMO STRATEGY

Successful IT projects every time

EPMO Strategy

The Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) celebrated its 15 month birthday in January 2008. We were created as part of the Department of Information and Innovation (DII) to help the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and State business units increase the likelihood of IT project success.

Project Management Methodology

Ten Step Process Map

Our goals included selecting and implementing a proven IT project management methodology. This methodology, trademarked “Ten Step”, is exactly what the name implies, i.e. a ten-step approach to disciplined project management. Our project managers adhere to this process as they manage enterprise IT projects, and they also mentor business units who need and want our help.

We are collaborating with the Summit Center for State Employee Development to bring this training to a broader audience of state employees in 2008, and we are very excited about the possibilities.

Our goals for business analysis are similar to those for project management, including the mentoring relationships and our work with the Summit Center. The enterprise business analyst assigned to the EPMO is involved in every project we touch. We follow the principles outlined in the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge (BABOK), and we are developing an enterprise business framework. One of the key lessons of good business analysis is maintaining accurate business documentation, and we are working hard to encourage improvement across state government in this area.
