Abstract
Project management skills are essential for IT professionals in higher education. Establishing standards for technology project management is crucial for departmental success. However, many institutions lack a dedicated project management office (PMO), leading to challenges in consistently identifying, tracking, prioritizing, and completing technology projects. This panel discussion will provide valuable insights and practical strategies for effectively managing IT projects in higher education, even without a formal PMO. Attendees will learn about diverse approaches to project request management, prioritization techniques, and software solutions employed by different institutions to organize, prioritize, and drive projects forward, as well as some lessons learned along the way about some potential obstacles to success. Join us for an engaging discussion and share your own experiences in managing IT projects within higher education.
