The Project Management Office (PMO) within IST serves as a focal point for and provides leadership and stewardship for a number of key practices related to portfolio, project and program management. We accomplish this by providing resources and expertise to groups within IST and the broader campus community.
Request a project manager to manage your project (IT or non-IT projects)
Find or request training, education, and knowledge sharing opportunities for staff, faculty, or students through the PMO’s IT Professional Development (ITPD) courses, customized training based on special requests, or the Project & Portfolio Management Community of Practice (https://uwaterloo.ca/ist-project-management-office/knowledge-sharing )
Request a project manager to perform a project health check to provide a set of recommendations, based on best practices, to consider for your own project (https://uwaterloo.ca/ist-project-management-office/methodologies/health-checks )
Use the PMO’s methodology, consisting of a library of tools, techniques, and tips for managing projects (https://uwaterloo.ca/ist-project-management-office/methodologies )
Submit a project/initiative to be added to the IST portfolio
