Page 88 - Technology Plan for School Years 2017 to 2021

 Update technology policies to ensure the District’s guiding tenets, modern
technology, and the Board’s technology vision all align. These policies will continue
the movement toward institutionalization of best practices, reduction of technology
risks, maximization of technology in support of student achievement, and technology
alignment with the District Strategic Plan.

Project Management

The IT Division will continue to incorporate project management methodologies based on
the key principles from the Project Management Institute (PMI.org) delivered and supported
by the IT Project Management Office. An IT Division approved Project Management
methodology framework will be instituted to drive the Division’s maturity level higher
towards thereby improving the key components: people, process, tools, and governance of
effective project management practices.

A project review process will be developed which will ensure that selected technology
projects are aligned with the District strategic priorities and processes are adhere to. The
District will continue to support and implement monitoring practices for the successful
execution of technology initiatives. The monitoring processes will be flexible and
accommodate unanticipated shifts in priorities and needs. As new needs arise and
requirements change, the strategic priorities will be updated, and projects will be routed
through the vetting or project selection process.
