Project Services Mission and Objectives

The Colorado State University Division of IT Project Services Office was created for the specific purpose of supporting Colorado State University Division of IT and campus partners.

Mission

The mission of the Project Services Office is two-fold:

  • Guide IT projects to a successful conclusion
  • Create a foundation for consistent IT project delivery success throughout the organization by developing a strong and pervasive Project Management discipline within the organization’s project teams

Objectives

In support of that mission, the Project Services Office has four primary objectives:

  • Provide Project Management services and oversight for select IT projects
  • Mentor, train, and guide the organization’s project teams as they learn and then adopt Project Management best practices in their projects
  • Provide a variety of regular updates ranging from monthly status of enterprise projects to an annual report on the organization’s progress at institutionalizing Project Management
  • Set the standard, provide the tools (e.g. Risk Evaluation tool, templates) and then be the resident advocate and model for good Project Management practice
