The IT Governance Process

1. Customer completes the Project Request form.
2. IS conducts a project intake interview.
3. IS creates a complexity, risk, and cost/benefit score card based on the project intake information.
4. IS determines whether proposed project goes to governance.
5. Advisory committees (DMC & FTC) review project intake information & project score card, then provide feedback to the ITGSC.
6. The ITGSC reviews project feedback from advisory committees for project and determines and adds their own feedback before sending this information to the Executive Sponsors for their decision.
7. The decision is communicated to the requestor, including any mitigations required for moving forward.
8. Approved projects are sent to the Project Management Office.
9. Brief survey sent to project requestor for feedback on the governance process (regardless of status of project).

Please note that proposals may take as long as 60-120 days to be reviewed by governance, depending upon the complexity of the proposal and the meeting schedules of the IT governance committees.
