    & Technical Evaluation

    • Proposals are routed to the responsible OIT manager for technical evaluation and time/budget estimatereviewed by a Project Review Team (PRT) consisting of a number of senior technical OIT staff and subject matter experts.
    • The PRT selects (or confirms) a team within OIT that will be responsible for in-depth technical evaluation, time and budget estimate, and possibly implementation of the project.
    • Estimated hours for development projects should include all phases of the development effort including requirements gathering,   design, coding and , testing, documentation, training and , outreach, and implementation. Estimates for other projects such as vendor software should include time for installations, coordination, tracking, training, and implementation.    Often, Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) will be required for special projects.

     

    Project Budget

    An initial budget for the project will be derived based on the project's estimated hours, any software licensing and hardware or equipment costs, training and possibly consulting costs.  This is a ballpark estimate which may be revised once the project has been scheduled and the requirements are more completely understood.
