Governance provides direction, oversight, and continuity to Miami’s strategies for the provisioning and support of IT. One major function of governance is to focus on alignment: making sure IT Services’ activities support Miami’s mission. Through a collaborative process, the hundreds of requests IT receives for projects are each evaluated and, if approved, prioritized.
The VE team members review each project request. The goal is to prepare a clear statement of the costs and risks associated with each to inform the CCIC decision-making process.
The specific objectives of the VE process are to:
Representing each of the major functional areas of the University, CCIC reviews all requests for IT projects. Using business cases prepared through the project intake and value engineering processes, the committee balances the value of the proposal with the availability of resources, and the probability of achieving the identified value. Meeting monthly, the CCIC maintains a list of active projects and a prioritized list of projects “on deck” to be started as resources become available.

The Change Advisory Board (CAB) supports the assessment, prioritization, authorization, and scheduling of technology changes at Miami University. Meeting once a week, the committee analyzes the risk of proposed changes to Miami’s production environment and seeks to minimize outages or other impacts on active systems to the extent feasible.
