Notice: applying this to your agency.
The IT Project Resources are not meant to replace your agency’s internal project management practices or prescribe how you must operate. Instead, they offer concepts and tools that can strengthen delivery by providing a scalable framework for project level coordination. All project documentation should be maintained throughout each stage in alignment with agency policies and, where applicable, WaTech requirements and oversight expectations.
For Programs
Identify and document risks across the full scope of the program, including technology, operations, governance, and impacted group engagement with specific attention to agency-led sub-projects. This early risk profile informs planning, impacted group alignment, and oversight engagement during program development.
For Programs with Agency‑Led Sub‑Projects
Capture risks at both the program and sub-project levels, including agency-specific constraints, interdependencies, and operational readiness. Map cross-agency risks, such as shared platforms, data integration, procurement delays, or conflicting timelines. Define mitigation strategies and escalation protocols that apply across agencies and ensure traceability to the program-level governance body. Align with WaTech’s enterprise risk framework, including standardized categories, scoring models, and reporting formats. Establish ownership and update cadence for each risk, ensuring that agency sub-project leads are accountable for maintaining their risk profiles and contributing to the enterprise.
