Responsibilities: Change and Continuous Improvement Committee (CCIC)

Purpose

This committee is accountable for the approval, prioritization, and scheduling of discretionary IT projects. The scope includes and is limited to the four application development teams and the BI team, all within the IT Services Solution Delivery department

Responsibilities

The voting CCIC members perform the following activities:

  • Serve as a single point-of-contact between their area of representation (e.g., division) and Miami's IT project governance process
  • Compile and provide initial triage for IT project requests made by people in their area
  • Sponsor and/or represent requests to the CCIC committee
  • Accountable for the project request details, e.g., business case, payback-period calculations, etc.
  • Vote on whether to modify the portfolio to include new/changed requests
  • Suggest and promote alternate sequencing, etc., in the project portfolio

Membership

Members are typically at the AVP/Senior Director level of the organization, and are typically the top technology leader in the area of representation. When an existing CCIC member steps down, informal evaluation of the divisional need and potential replacement candidates is conducted and a replacement is selected by the chair.
