The evolution of Information Technology (IT) in last few decades has been incredible. It started as purely experimental journey to purely support mechanism, now IT is virtually present in every domain and all walks of life.
To help manage all of this technology, Roseville has adopted a Technology Governance process. By using this formal framework, we are able to ensure that we invest in technology sensibly and in a way that is consistent with Council’s strategic goals.
It has also allowed us to identify the resources needed for new projects and prioritize them at a citywide level. This process also encourages the use of project management methodologies and will continue to help support our city in delivering more successful projects.
One big focus of this process includes evaluating new projects so we can prepare for the upcoming fiscal year. To do this, all projects expected to kick off in FY21/22 must be approved by the TGC, the department heads, and the City Manager's Office.
The first step of this process is to contact an IT Analyst to help you draft a concept paper and submit it to [email protected].
These concept papers are due to governance no later than September 16, 2020. You can find concept templates and other key dates on the HUB under IT>Technology Governance
Once approved, these projects are factored into the rates that IT has projected for the new fiscal year. If submitted late, the project will need to be vetted by the TGC & City Manager in a separate process.
