IM&T Project Portfolio

Portfolio Management

The IM&T leadership team serves as the Project Management Office (PMO) to prioritize and categorize approve projects and to manage resource allocations.

Click the Submit New Project Request button above to submit a new project request. A project request form is required for any project or technology request that requires IM&T assistance and requires centralized funding, requires data from an IM&T system, or is for new technology not currently implemented at UNC.
 

Projects seeking centralized funding for FY25 (7/1/24 - 6/30/25) must be submitted by 11/1/23.

• What requires an IM&T Project?

  A project request form is required for any project or technology request that requires IM&T assistance and meets one or more of the following:

  • Requires centralized funding
  • Requires data from an IM&T system
  • Is for new technology not currently implemented at UNC

  IM&T may also require a project request form for projects that have a definitive start and end date, requires substantial resources (multiple people or cumulative hours), requires multiple IM&T teams to implement or includes sensitive information such as PII or PHI.

  If you are questioning whether or not to submit a project request, error on the side of submitting a request form.

  If you have any questions with the request form please contact the Technical Support Center at (970) 351-4357.

• How do I submit an IM&T Project Request?
  • IM&T Project Requests should be submitted through the IM&T Project Survey at the following URL:  https://forms.office.com/r/dPsgXv7Tbg
  • Once you submit your form, an IM&T representative will contact you directly to discuss your request. If you have questions about the status of your project request, contact the Technical Support Center at (970) 351-4357.
• When should I submit an IM&T Project Request?
  • Projects can be submitted at any time throughout the year. IM&T requests that departments submit projects as early as possible to ensure ample planning time.
  • Projects seeking centralized funding for FY25 (7/1/24 - 6/30/25) must be submitted by 11/1/23. This includes IM&T Project Requests and ATAG Project Requests.
• How are resources allocated to a Project?
  • The IM&T PMO is responsible for scoring projects and coordinating with the Academic Technology Advisory Group (ATAG), Information Technology Committee (ITC) and UNC Senior Leadership to approve central strategic funding for project requests.
  • The IM&T PMO is responsible for assigning IM&T Staffing resources to a project and determining when a project will start.
  • All approved IM&T Project Requests will reside in a planning pending resources status until IM&T Staffing resources are allocated.
  • All IM&T Projects that are not approved will reside in a project backlog and will be reevaluated by the PMO, ATAG and ITC during the next project evaluation cycle. 
• What are the project stages?
  • Initiation - Submitted projects that are awaiting initial approval from Program Managers, The PMO or a Dean, AVP or VP.
  • Planning - Projects that have received initial approval and are being scoped and planned
  • Planning Pending Resources - Projects that have received final approval but are awaiting IM&T staffing resources
  • Execution - Projects that are actively being worked on
  • Backlog - Projects seeking centralized funding that have completed the annual project request process and have not received funding and projects seeking centralized funding that were submitted after the initial deadline and are not currently under consideration.
