Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Submit Project Idea/Request

A business stakeholder submits an initial idea for a new IT project through a standardized request form, outlining the problem to be solved and the expected business benefits.

Step 2 - Initial Business Case Review

A steering committee or PMO reviews the idea to determine if it has strategic merit and warrants further investigation. The idea is either rejected, deferred, or approved for analysis.

Step 3 - Detailed Analysis & Scoping

If approved for analysis, a business analyst works with the stakeholder to develop a detailed business case, including scope, resource estimates, timeline, and financial projections (ROI/NPV).

Step 4 - Prioritization & Portfolio Approval

The fully scoped project is presented to the leadership or portfolio governance committee for final approval and prioritization against other competing projects. If approved, it is added to the official project portfolio.

The Purpose of IT Project Request

This workflow provides a formal "front door" for any department to request a new IT project. It forces the requester to think through the business case, the expected benefits, and the high-level requirements. This allows a governance committee (like a PMO or IT Steering Committee) to evaluate, prioritize, and resource potential projects based on their strategic value, ROI, and alignment with company goals, ensuring IT resources are focused on the most important initiatives.
