Overview
SAIT, in partnership with our Divisional partners, Procurement, and Berkeley IT, provides project management support for information technology projects within Student Affairs. From project ideas to formal requests and intake, to divisional prioritization and execution, SAIT’s project management team ensures transparency, communication, and collaboration.
Is it a project?
Great ideas can come from anyone on campus but not every great idea is a project. One function of the Strategic Initiatives team is to determine which ideas qualify as tickets, for procurement, as an initiative, or as a project.

Ticket |
A Ticket is requested work that does not exceed the bounds of a contributor's daily operational tasks and involves very few stakeholders to complete the task. |

Procurement |
A Procurement is a purchase request that is led by the Student Affairs Procurement(link is external) team and requires a contract, negotiated purchase terms, security review, and other critical elements that must be completed to complete the procurement request. |
Initiative |
An Initiative is work that exceeds the bounds of a contributor's daily work but does not have the complexity of a project. It likely includes multiple stakeholders and may take several weeks or more to complete. |
Project |
A Project is a significant undertaking that involves multiple stakeholders, cross-functional departmental involvement, a defined business case, Executive sponsor approval, and ongoing project management support through initiation and discovery through completion. |
