The California Department of Technology’s new Project Management Office has launched a Web page offering recommended best practices.
Written in plain language, the website includes topics under five phases of project management: concept, initiation, planning, execution and closing.
“Leverage these Recommended Practices as a starting point. They will point out action that you can take to reduce the risks associated with your project and better position your project team for success,” the website says.
The department is building out the new PMO during the 2015-16 fiscal year with a $1.5 million budget appropriation. The office’s executive director is Tamara Armstrong.
The Department of Technology plans to publish a more formal project management framework in spring 2016.
