Project communications
As many of you know, there is a bi-monthly Stage Gate meeting to review project proposals submitted by ICIT team members where they are either approved, rejected, or placed on hold. We will be using Uptimes to share the outcomes of the Stage Gate meetings, as a means to keep everyone informed on upcoming projects.
Also, each week at the Management Team meeting, the current status of many ICIT projects are reviewed. While all of the information is already at your fingertips in Eclipse, Stacy creates nice clean spreadsheet that provides a high level overview of many projects, we’ll be sharing those as well on a regular basis as well.
