IT project management
University Systems project managers coordinate our internal IT projects and support people outside of Systems on projects with an IT component. We offer support, consultations and resources. You should contact us as early as possible to discuss your project.
We mostly manage specific technical work within projects that are managed by our clients. We sometimes manage large-scale, enterprise-wide projects.
We also support project managers outside of University Systems by sharing our project management resources.
For capital projects, please contact the capital development division in Facilities Management.

Only UVic employees can access these resources.
Consultation topics
You should talk with us if you're planning or considering an initiative that will need to use resources within University Systems. Topics we can help you with include:
- navigating approvals
- figuring out if your project needs a privacy impact assessments (PIA)
- finding resources
- connecting you with people who can help you
- mentorship and guidance
Even if your initiative doesn't require IT project management, we can help you find resources and contacts who can help you.
Examples of projects
We have helped people with:
- developing a custom web app to solve difficult business processes
- purchasing new cloud software and navigating necessary approvals
- upgrading an enterprise system to be more secure or modern
- build or update a database to manage a large amount of information
- managing the technology needs of an infrastructure project
We can connect you with the teams responsible for:
- letting users use UVic's single sign on to sign in to cloud software that you already use
- implementing a new database with UVic data that would run in UVic's enterprise data centre
- using Power BI to create reports on a data set
- refreshing a meeting room with new AV technology and better network infrastructure
Prepare for your consultation
To prepare for your consultation, go through this checklist of questions. If there are some you can't answer, don't worry. A consultation is just the first step and if we're able to support your project, we can help you find the answers to these questions.
- What's the goal of your project?
- What problems are you trying to solve?
- What's your budget?
- Where is your budget coming from?
- What's your timeline? Do you have a hard deadline?
- Do you have solutions in mind already or are you exploring?
- If you have a solution in mind, do you know of other units at UVic already using it?
- Do you need to do a privacy impact assessment (PIA)?
