Using Strategic Portfolio Management to Transform IT Governance – Murtha
Abstract:
IT Project Governance often elicits feelings of unease and is viewed as a daunting process. This session will describe the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s rags to riches journey to re-architect IT Project Governance using strategic project and portfolio management at its core.
Join us on an inspiring journey through the University of North Carolina at Charlotte’s IT Project Governance transformation. Our Assistant Vice Chancellor for Planning and Projects will share how strategic project and portfolio management reshaped their approach from uncertainty to triumph.
Discover the core pillars of Charlotte’s agile approach, from the evolution of the Project Management Office to striking the perfect balance between simplicity and data accessibility for informed decision-making. Uncover how we tackled cultural barriers, provided the needed structure for change, and empowered divisions to craft effective IT plans.
This interactive session delves into the development of our new processes, structures, and supporting tools. Get a firsthand look at various project management artifacts: intake forms, playbooks, PPM tools, dashboards, and crucial metrics. Embracing the agile ethos, we’ll discuss invaluable lessons learned and how we adapted them to pave our path to success.
