Program Management Office

The purpose of the Program Management Office (PMO) is to oversee UW Technology’s project portfolio,  to ensure the overall collection of projects is aligned with the university’s mission and strategic goals, that UW Technology makes the best use of its limited resources, and that high priority projects are implemented on schedule within budget and within scope.  In order to fulfill this critical role, the PMO will:

• Develop and support project portfolio processes that allow UW Technology and the University of Washington to prioritize IT projects, allocate resources, and track performance of the project portfolio and related IT investments
• Collect, review, and distribute data for monitoring the performance of high-priority projects to ensure they are accomplishing their objectives 
• Develop and support standard project management methodologies based on industry best practices and the unique needs of a university IT department to assist UW Technology staff in managing projects efficiently and effectively
• Provide experienced project managers to lead key, high-priority projects  to ensure they are delivered on time with quality
• Provide project management consultation to project teams to improve project management expertise and success throughout UW Technology
