53 Appendix B: IT Governance 12012 Project Classification /Criteria The project classification approach focuses on gauging project complexity and impact to ensure the appropriate levels of review and stakeholder involvement are undertaken. Under this methodology, a project charter must be submitted, approved and assessed for funding availability if it meets one or more of the following criteria: IT Project Investment Criteria • The project's development schedule, consisting of the analysis, design, programming, testing and integration components, is estimated to exceed 4 calendar months. • The total project cost is estimated to exceed $10,000. If the system is being built in- house, this would include labor hours. • The proposed solution will consist of installation of or expansion of software, voice, video networks facilities or services other than those routinely acquired through the Information Technology (IT) Department. • The project will consist of the development, acquisition or installation of technologies not currently supported by the IT Department. The proposed solution could be enterprise in nature or consist of the development and /or purchase of a system that involves more than one department. • Projects that may not rise to these criteria but are mission critical to a particular department may still be submitted as a IT Project request. The final approved Project Charter will require both Stakeholder and IT approval.
