4	Follow-up/Review with PMO	Project Management Office
5	Cabinet Approval	Robert Presents to Cabinet
6	Final Approval	Cabinet has Approved and PMO determines timeline

HOW TO VIEW YOUR PROJECT REQUESTS

 

After submitting your project request, you can check the status of your request

 

·         From the Services menu, click on Project Requests

·         You will see a list of all active projects and the status of those projects

·         You can also search by ticket number or on closed project requests

 

 

 

 

 

Division Delegate Approval

 

The Division Delegate can perform the following actions for each Project Request:

 

 

 

a.       Reject – Return to Previous Step (with comments)

 

·         This causes the request to return to the Requestor with a status of rejected.  The Requestor can re-submit if more information is required. 

 

 

b.      Forward Request

·         Request can go to another person, via email notification, for additional information.  The request stays in the Division Delegate’s workflow step

c.       Approve Step

·         The Request is approved to move forward in the workflow

 

1)      If the first step is approved, the PMO reviews and will assign someone to conduct the Business Analysis and Requirements Gathering in the next step. 

 

2)      The Analyst may need to call the requestor to get high-level business requirements and additional information about the project before reviewing their findings with the PMO. 

 

3)      The Analyst will upload any business requirements, additional business case documentation or other supporting documentation.

 

4)      The Analyst will then approve this step, reject to previous step or forward to another person for additional information.  The form stays in its’ current workflow step until the Analyst performs and action.

 

5)      The Analyst will conduct a Follow-Up review with the PMO.  The PMO may provide additional documentation, instructions or other high level details so that the Cabinet can approve based on the PMO’s recommendations.

 

6)      After Cabinet Approval, the PMO will review and identify timeline, resources and assign a project Manager.
