Definition of an IT Managed Project

In IT, we define an initiative (that's what we call an IT project) as a request that meets one of these criteria:

• New implementation of an application, system, or service
• Vendor Management is required
• Impacts more than one critical system
• Greater than 300 hours of IT staff effort
• The work will be managed by an IT Project Manager

Requests that meet these criteria will go through our Project Management Life Cycle (PMLC).

These criteria are considered per request and the determination to handle the request as an initiative is made on a case-by-case basis.  These are intended as general guidelines.
