Office of Strategic Initiatives, Project Management Office
The Office of Strategic Initiatives Project Management office (PMO) is responsible for developing project management standards to be applied to the Chancellor's Quantum Leap Initiatives and communicating progress across the University of Texas System. The PMO team works with the Quantum Leap (QL) Sponsors to complete a Concept Document for each Quantum Leap that sets the boundaries, timeline and budget. The PMO will also work with the QL Sponsors to clearly document the projects that will be delivered as part of each QL Program. Once projects are approved, the PMO works with assigned Program and Project Managers to ensure the defined standards are followed, and monitors progress against defined milestones.

Establish a Quantum Leap Project Management Office (PMO) that incorporates UT System's Operating Concept, Agile Decision Process, and Team of Teams.
