Initiate the Project
(Project Proposal)
The objective of the Project Proposal is to provide
management with the information necessary to
determine if the initiative has merit. Projects can be
initiated in the following ways:
1. For CIO Projects – any member of CCS may
submit a Proposal for an initiative. Proposals are
reviewed and approved by the CIO and CCS
Management.
2. For ISSC Projects – Carleton business units
submit Proposals to the Chair of ISSC
(Information Systems Steering Committee). This
takes place as part of the annual budgeting
process and makes up the portfolio of projects for
the fiscal year. ISSC reviews the Proposals
for prioritization, ranking, and approval to
submit a Project Charter.
