What is ITPMO and what are its main functions?

The IT Project Management Framework is the overall guideline in managing IT projects as shown in the IIUM IT Project Management Life Cycle (available for download in the PMO Templates section). The IT Project Management Framework follows the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), as outlined by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

The ITPMO will contact you to discuss your proposal further and to assist you developing the Feasibility Study Report(FSR) for the proposed IT project. You can also refer to the IT Project Process Flow (available for download in the “PMO Templates” section) for an overview of the whole process.
What is the Feasibility Study Report (FSR) and why do we need it?
The Feasibility Study Report (FSR) is a document that will outline the business case for the IT project, in terms of its objectives, benefits and feasibility. The FSR will help the University in selecting the most appropriate IT projects to invest in.
Do you provide any templates for the FSR?
Yes, the FSR template can be downloaded at the “ITPMO Templates” section of the ITD website.
What happens after the FSR has been submitted?

If the project is approved, what happens next?
Once an IT project has been approved, ITPMO will assign a project manager and the team members. The project manager and team members will be issued letters of appointments and letters of undertakings for them to sign and return to ITPMO. Copies of the letters will be sent to the system owner/process owner for their signatures.
