Non-Active Phases
As part of the project lifecycle, projects may be in the following non-active phases
| Cancelled | Pending Funding | Pending Resources |
| Projects that are not approved by the appropriate IT governance body, or that are not funded within a reasonable time. Projects that do not demonstrate continual forward momentum may also be canceled at the discretion of the project sponsor, CIO, or the appropriate IT governance body. | Projects approved by the appropriate IT governance body for which funding is not yet identified will be placed in this phase. The IT PMO will work with the project sponsors to identify who is responsible for submitting the project for funding as part of the institution’s annual critical needs request (CNR) process. Projects may only remain in this phase for two funding cycles. | When resource needs are identified that can’t be met but which are required for project success, the pending resources designation may be used. Projects placed in this phase should be reviewed regularly with the appropriate IT governance body (with regards to prioritization) and the appropriate DoIT unit (with regards to resource availability). Projects may only remain in this phase for 24 months. |
The PMO will work with project sponsors and the relevant governance committees to document these statues for IT portfolio reporting purposes.
