University Project Request

The Offices of Institutional Effectiveness (IE) and Information Technology (OIT) maintain a close partnership in overseeing project management across the institution. 

The Saint Joseph's University’s Project Management Policy describes the essential elements in the management of its projects and project portfolio.

A project is defined as a temporary endeavor with a start and finish, undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result.  

SJU OIT-specific projects require technology resources and meet one or more of the following criteria:

  1. Project cost >$5,000
  2. Resource time exceeds 40 hours
  3. Brings a new service to the IT service catalog
  4. Project FTEs required from two or more internal (OIT) departments and/or across two or more divisions and/or colleges;
  5. Discretion of the CIO

A project is different from an operational service request. A project is an endeavor that is temporary in nature, that is undertaken to produce a unique product. Operations are ongoing execution of activities that occur after a project or product is implemented to produce the same result or a repetitive service. Operational service requests are available in the Service Catalog.
