Information Services (IS) approaches all its projects with a standard methodology to ensure quality, manage resources wisely, and produce finished projects to the satisfaction and standards of our clients. Our methodology is known as the IS Technology Life Cycle (TLC).
If you would like to work with IS on a project for your area or for the benefit of the university, your project will conform to the TLC methodology.
To initiate a new project:
- Contact Cara Kaufmann-Rosenthal (ckaufman@depaul.edu), the leader of our Project & Process Management (PPM) craft area. She can orient you to the Technology Life Cycle and answer preliminary questions that you may have. Be sure to review the TLC site on your own and download the necessary document templates.
- Create your business case and the supporting net present value/return on investment (NPV/ROI) spreadsheet. A PPM staff member will review your draft and let you know whether any section(s) need(s) further development. PPM can also provide guidance for the NPV/ROI spreadsheet.
- Once your business case is complete, submit it to PPM for technology architecture review. The review team will make sure that the project aligns with the direction of DePaul and IS. (If IS determines that your project cannot be approved or accommodated, you will be informed as soon as a determination is made.)
- After the architecture review has been completed, IS managing directors will study the business case and related documents to determine an appropriate time frame for the project's completion.
- Once the project is approved, you/your department will select a team leader to represent your department. Your team leader will work with an IS project manager to begin the project, including the development of a detailed project charter.
- Your team leader will be involved as a key participant throughout the duration of the project. Anyone who works on the project should be familiar with the TLC methodology.
