Information Technology projects are temporary, organized efforts to deliver a new product or service with a clearly defined start and end date. Any work that requires substantial IT resources to complete a project, must work with the IT Project Management Office (PMO).

Project Request Reviews
In the Fall, our CSUMB Vice Presidents, Deans, and Associate Vice Presidents will receive a “Call Letter for IT Projects” with a direct link to the form for the next Academic Year’s proposals.
Submissions must be submitted by VPs, Deans, or AVPs (or their Admin designees) in order for the requests to be considered.
Project Request Requirements
Submitters will also be asked to provide the following:
• Sponsor - AVP or VP required
• Problem description
• Proposed implementation timeframe
• Stakeholders (e.g. students, staff, faculty)
• Software or hardware needed to implement project
• One-time expenses
• Ongoing expenses (annual)
• Staffing requirements
• Budget availability
• Alignment with the President's Seven Opportunities and Priorities
Note: It is important to note if your project request comes with real or potential funding.
Priority
IT has no guaranteed annual budget for projects. If funds are not available, the prioritization of the request will determine if it is appropriate for us to request funds from campus leadership.
After Submission
If your project is approved/funded, our IT Project Management Office (PMO) will work with project proposers to develop a full project scope and implementation plan.
