What is an IT Project?
An IT project is defined as any request of an IT resource that is estimated to require 16 or more hours to complete. This definition also includes new requests that involve the purchase or development of a new system, service or software that is not currently in existence at BCC regardless of the number of man hours - Basically, anything that is not an enhancement or correction to an existing system or service.
How do I request an IT Project?
To formally request an IT project you must complete the following steps:
- Download and complete the
Project Overview Statement form . On the form you will be required to provide the name of a project leader (usually the person requesting the project) and an executive sponsor (who should be a President's Cabinet member). - E-mail a copy of the completed form to the Helpdesk in the IT department. Within two weeks of receiving your request, an IT representative will contact you and schedule a meeting to further discuss the details of your project. In that meeting, a preliminary estimate of resource requirements will be formulated.
- After meeting with IT, provide a copy of the final Project Statement Overview form to your Cabinet representative and ask that they bring it to President's Cabinet for approval and prioritization.
What happens next?
Your Cabinet representative will bring the project request to President's Cabinet to discuss the merits of the request along with the benefits that will be provided to the College should it be approved. President's Cabinet should then make a decision on whether or not to proceed forward with the project and what level of priority it should be given. Assuming that your project is approved, you will be notified by your Cabinet member and provided with an IT contact. It will then be your responsibility to initiate the project and contact the designated IT representative to proceed.
