Department of Aging and Disability Services, Information Technology

PM Practice: The Department of Aging and Disability Services, Information Technology, has developed a scalable project management methodology leveraging Project Management Institute (PMI) standards. Using this methodology, projects are categorized into specific tiers based on estimated project cost, effort in hours, duration and risk. Different levels of deliverables are required based on processes and tools that are appropriate for each tier. Extensive tools and a best practice methodology for project management and systems development have been developed to facilitate a quality outcome and customer approved product.
