Project Management Framework
Projects are separate from business-as-usual activities and occur when an organisation wants to deliver a solution to set requirements within an agreed budget and timeframe.
This should not be taken to imply that project and operational management should function in isolation - quite the reverse. Close co-ordination and co-operation are essential to resolve project and business as usual contentions.
This framework covers all major University projects, however separate templates will be utilised for Estates projects. A major project normally may singly, or in combination, consist of a significant complex undertaking, requiring a significant amount of investment, time, and stakeholder involvement, and have significant reputational and risk impact. It will normally have a distinct link to one of the strategic plan pillars.
This framework is to be used for projects that are defined as significant, after completion of the Assessment Tool, for identifying major projects attached at Appendix one and available as a template to be completed with the proposal document.
