The ITS JPO has established a set of project management templates developed as program support tools. The project management templates help set organizational expectations and identify areas of responsibility. By implementing the templates across the ITS JPO portfolio, we can improve the communication of projects statuses, streamline reporting requirements, establish better short and long term project planning along with many other beneficial activities. This unified management approach ensures that project objectives are met. Consistent with expectations established by the ITS JPO, a portfolio-wide adoption of a standardized project management approach will include the utilization of the common reporting formats and project templates provided below.

  • Monthly Status Report
  • Project Schedule
  • Communications Management Plan
  • Risk Register

Utilizing uniform methodology across all projects within the ITS JPO establishes a common approach across the entire program.  Projects governed by established project management processes are effectively planned; have appropriate change control processes in place; deliver the right product or service on time and within budget; and ultimately generate efficiencies for the agencies.
