Group Purpose

The purpose of this group is to appropriately assign technical projects for completion keeping in mind the mission of UW Oshkosh.

Project Prioritization Guidelines

The Project Prioritization Working Group has representatives from the SIS Implementation Team, Academic and Administrative Offices. The purpose of the group is to review, consolidate and then prioritize projects.

The top tier projects are further categorized in terms of “scope” and complexity/difficulty.” The technical staff, with input from the project requestors, is responsible for this process.

The prioritized list is sent to the Enterprise Executive Committee (EEC) for approval. The EEC may add/delete/change projects and/or reorder priorities.

The EEC and the Implementation Teams review the status of the top tier projects monthly and reprioritize as needed.

The EEC has the authority to add, delete, or change project priorities at any time.

Is the project aligned with the University’s mission, vision, and strategic directions?

Does the project make existing processes or procedures more efficient?
(There should be identifiable cost savings in dollars and/or human effort.)

Does the project make existing processes or procedures more effective?
(Better results are achieved by the improved process or procedure.)

Does the project improve/enhance or protect the University's mission, vision, or strategic directions?

Is the project needed to avoid or protect the University from a potentially serious financial or legal situation?

Guidelines for determining resources, scope, and complexity/difficulty of projects:

Minimal - Projects that take several hours to complete. When an individual believes that an existing program or procedure requires a minimal modification, s/he should contact a senior programmer/analyst. The analyst can quickly determine if a modification can be made immediately. If the request is more involved, the individual will be asked to send a request to a member of the Project Prioritization Working Group.

Moderate complexity - complicating aspects of the project often surface during the detailed analysis and development phases of these projects.

Low complexity - rarely are complicating factors discovered in the development of these projects.
