IT Governance Teams
IT Governance teams are comprised of two strategic teams, UIF Executive Operations Team and IT Governance Council, and multiple functional teams (Working Groups). The IT Governance Council will provide oversight for the ITG process and its functions, and the Working Groups will review and prioritize enhancement requests and other advancement technology projects within each of their areas. When an enhancement request is submitted, it will be routed through the IT Governance process, being reviewed by the Working Group for prioritization and recommendation to be approved by the IT Governance Council. Once approved by the IT Governance Council, Business Analysts will work with the project sponsor to create functional specs and Application Developers will implement the updates.
