Project Support Services
Portfolio Management:
Our office manages a portfolio of appointed strategic university initiatives. We are involved in balancing priorities and aligning resources with IET and university strategic goals.
Project Oversight and Support:
Our office is directly responsible for the project management and leadership related to some strategic initiatives. We can also provide guidance and support to staff leading projects and project teams throughout the project lifecycle.
Tools and Best Practices:
Our office has developed and curated a number of project management templates across a number of tools (Smartsheet, Asana, Google Docs, etc.) and serves as a resource for standardized project management practices. Our aim is to provide support through consulting to enhance project management capabilities across the university.
Continuous Improvement and Education:
One of the ways we support the university is by continually refining and improving our processes as well as continually learning ourselves. Everyone in the PMO is either already a certified PMP (Project Management Professional) or actively seeking to attain the certification or a project management-related certification in the near future. We will be looking to establish lunch-and-learns as well as PMP study groups for anyone interested in taking the exam.
