Request for I/T Support BACK PURPOSE: To formally identify to the company that I/T is being asked to provide solution assistance for a given situation which is probably greater in effort than the parameters of the Work Request system allow. WHEN: Have the requestor complete this document anytime they are seeking assistance from you and, in your judgment, it seems to be greater in magnitude than a Work Request. If you are unsure, check with one of the Portfolio Managers listed on the form for guidance. PROCESS: Pull the document from the EPQ Dashboard to insure most current revision. Send to requestor and assist in completing the document. Forward completed document to the identified Portfolio Manager listed on the form. RESULTS: This starts the formal project management process. It will either be terminated and converted to a Work Request by the Portfolio Manager after initial investigation or a Project Manager will be assigned to complete the Initiation Stage.

Request for I/T Support BACK Requestor information (who’s asking for this and who are they) Sponsor information (It is the responsibility of the requestor to secure an executive (VP level or higher) who agrees with the request and is willing to sponsor efforts by I/T to at least work with the business to develop documented requirements. This would be the person who will sign off acceptance at all future stages of the project. Therefore, once they see the requirements document, they may choose to terminate the effort or approve it to continue to be planned in detail. Once they see the plan and the costs and benefits, they may choose to terminate the effort or support it going before EPQ Steering Council for corporate approval, etc… Description of the Request – If this is not enough room to briefly describe the request, attach additional documentation. Pull down and select business division. This will auto-populate the Portfolio Manager to be emailed. PMLC Process and Timeline

Business Requirements BACK PMLC Process and Timeline

PMLC Process and Timeline Sponsor Approval BACK PURPOSE: To document that the requirements are accurate as to what the business needs and have adequate detail to be used for establishing solution documentation. WHEN: Once Business Requirements have be documented and forwarded to the Sponsor for review. PROCESS: Project Manager will send documented Business Requirements to the Sponsor. Sponsor should review and 1) Approve (meaning they agree that their needs have been accurately identified and now expect effort to be expended to develop documentation for the complete solution and necessary activities and budget around achieving the solution. They understand they will be kept in the loop as the planning process progresses as they have the right to cancel the project if it becomes evident the value proposition is not favorable. They also understand the completed project plan will be presented for EPQ Council Review and they or their designate will be required to present this project at that council.) … 2) Cancel, or 3) Request additional redrafting of the requirements before approving. PROCESS: (continued) Their approval or cancellation is documented and filed on the Dashboard under the PMLC-I03 – Requirements Acceptance document placeholder. RESULTS: Approval is secured and Stage Gate 1 is cleared allowing the project to progress to the Planning Stage. Or, the project is cancelled whereby documentation of this decision is filed on the dashboard and all project activity is terminated. PMLC Process and Timeline

PMLC Process and Timeline Initiation Stage BACK Initiation Begins when a request for I/T Service is formalized with a documented requestor and VP level Sponsor. Ownership of the request is determined among the IPM ranks. A project manager is assigned to evaluate and clarify the request. If the request cannot readily be converted into a Work Request, a project number is assigned and the project status is set to “Initiation”. An estimated end date for the Initiation Stage will be populated into the Dashboard along with estimated resource needs for this Stage. Generally, resource needs from I/T should be minimal during this stage as it is primarily a PM and a Business Analyst working with the business. Business requirements are drafted indicating the problem(s) or need(s), the current process, and the requirements needed to satisfy the issue(s). The “Initiation” Stage concludes with documented approval from the business sponsor that the documented business requirements are accurate. The approval will be filed in the Dashboard and the owning Portfolio Manager will indicate concurrence by setting a Stage Gate 1 Complete flag in the Dashboard. The project status changes to “Planning” Initiation Stage 1) Request for I/T Support 2) Project Registration 3) Business Requirements 4) Sponsor Approval SG-1 Project Status: “Initiation” PMLC Process and Timeline
