What is Information Technology Governance and how is it structured at USF?
Information Technology Governance describes the relationships and frameworks that provide input into process implementation, technology decisions, and project work within Information Technology.
The Information Technology Management Council (ITMC) ranks as the senior governing body of USF Information Technology. A number of Governance Subgroups support the ITMC by staying informed on and providing counsel as necessary on the USF Information Technology portfolio. These subgroups are focused on specific functional areas of the University.
Details on the ITMC and its subgroups can be found in the corresponding sections below. For more information about the Information Technology Governance structure at USF, see USF Policy 0-512.
How is a governance group chosen to review my project request?
A threshold scoring system is used during the initial review of new requests to determine if IT Governance applies. For more information about the threshold scoring system, see Technology Governance Threshold Scoring.
