Project Management Business Analyst (PMBA) Working Group Charter

Definition

The Project Management Business Analysis Working Group (PMBA Working Group) is established to provide guidance and resources for project management improvement efforts in IS&T.  This group will also serve as the custodian of best practices and promote and support the effective use of those practices across the organization.  The Working Group has the responsibility to ensure that any IS&T project management processes that are developed remain useful, accessible, and easy to use.

...

The facilitator of the PMBA Working Group will report to senior staff on a monthly basis relevant activities, issues, and recommendations.  In addition, meeting agendas, minutes and supporting documents will be made available to staff across the department so that they can be aware of the work and recommendations of the Working Group.
