Recommendation
Establish a process for prioritization and allocation of IT resources that takes into account City-wide needs. This should also include a longer-term IT planning horizon (three to five years), with major department input and approvals, broken down into yearly increments, locked in by funding and results against the plan reported monthly or quarterly.
Create a central reference document and secure shared drive that acts as a single source of truth for all project documentation. This can be used to guide all employees involved in the IT project and should include instructions and hyperlinks for navigating important documents, files and other materials. It is also advisable to limit the amount of work in progress that each employee can have at any one time, to avoid overloading their plate and making mistakes.
Define a communication process detailing how and when to report progress, issues, and problems to the project manager. Ensure that all employees have access to this document, which should also be used as the basis for a responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed (RACI) matrix to identify each team member’s tasks, milestones, decisions and overall level of accountability for the project.
