  2. Information Technology Success Rates • Only 28% of projects are considered successful • 49% were canceled • 23% were challenged; the project is completed but is over-budget, over time and with fewer features and functions • 45% had cost overruns • Only 67% of the required features were delivered Standish Group, 2001 CHAOS Report

  3. FDOH Evaluation • Failure of several large projects • “Stovepipes” and duplication of efforts • Limited IT Resources • Lack of executive oversight and leadership • Improvement of communication and decision making • Maintain agency perspective for prioritization • Recommendation of Special Project Monitor

  4. FDOH Roadmap • Special Project Monitor requested the establishment of a PMO and IT Governance • December 2002- Reorganized the Bureau and formalized the PMO • Only 2 large projects had project managers • Small and medium projects had no formal project manager • Fall 2003 – Hired PMO Project Managers to develop templates and standards • IT Governance implemented November 2003 • Required Tier 3 projects to hire a full time project manager • Required PMO PM’s to mentor and monitor all IT projects

  5. FDOH Organizational Structure • 2002 • 1 PMO Manager • 2 Project Managers • 1 Project Administrator • Current State • Division of Information Technology, Bureau of Planning and Quality Improvement • Staffing • PMO Manager • 9 PMO Project Managers and Project Administrators • 12 Project Specific Project Managers

  6. FDOH Organizational Structure • Project Manager reporting and responsibilities • All project managers report to PMO and the project sponsor • Serves as a neutral party focused on the success of the project • Liaison between technical and business partners • Assist with development of the PMO standards

  7. Process and Priority • IT Governance • Determined Policies and Guidelines • Established Templates • Established Processes

  8. FDOH IT Governance 2003 Implemented IT Governance IT Governance provides a fair and consistent process for prioritization and focus of the department’s limited IT resources

  9. IT Governance Approval Process FDOH IT Governance Model

  10. PMO Support Process • For approved projects, the project PM is given a packet that includes the reporting templates and completed examples • The assigned PMO PM makes contact to answer questions and provide guidance • The project PM is given access to the tools and templates

  11. PMO Monitoring Process • The assigned PMO PM is responsible for monitoring the project using the standard monitoring tools • Projects are monitored for late/missed milestones and deliverables, increasing risks, overspending of budget, and scope changes • A red, yellow or green color status is assigned and reported to Governance

  12. Integrated Processes • The PMO and IT Governance Unit combined • Project starts by going through the Governance process for approval • A PMO project manager is assigned to each project as a point of contact/monitor • The PMO provides tools and templates for management of the project

  13. Integrated Processes • PMO project manager monitors the project and determines health status • Project monitoring results are provided to the appropriate Tier body for status reporting • If project health status goes to red, a “firefighter” is assigned from the PMO

  14. Integrated Processes • Monitoring and support are throughout the project’s lifecycle • Project close out activities are completed with the PMO • Project close out and final outcomes are reported to IT Governance

  15. Continued Improvement • Implementation of Portfolio Management tools • Improvement of Monitoring, Mentoring and Training • IT Tier 1 Projects - Dedicated Project Manager for each Bureau within the Division
