Engagement Type: Contract
Short Description:
Program Manager directs, controls, administers, and regulates an enhancement or development program. PM is the individual ultimately responsible to the agency. The PM’s primary responsibility is to drive the entire effort from start to finish.
Complete Description:
The client Information Technology is requesting staff augmentation to support the Telecommunications Transition from the current vendor, Level 3 to the new vendor, Verizon. This project manager will provide support to IT during the transition:
1. Direct project management support of the telecommunications transition
The Telecommunications Transition project is a significant effort being directed by the Office of Administration. While the OA Transition Management Office (TMO) is supplying overarching coordination and contract management support, it has clearly indicated that each agency will be responsible for managing its own transition.
A significant remaining aspect of the Verizon telecommunications transition is the conversion of 165 WIC clinic circuits as part of the business partner network transition.
Current IT Commonwealth employees have the requisite knowledge and subject matter expertise to review the technical transition plans and support the IT clients in the physical transition. However additional support is required to manage the communications, both incoming from the OA and outgoing to the IT clients, and monitor and control project risks and issues.
The OA TMO has identified functional leads for each of the major areas of transition – voice, data, and internet/security. In addition they have identified an overarching Project Manager to ensure that efforts are coordinated and communications are delivered to all necessary stakeholders. The client IT would like to mirror that project governance and require the additional project management support to do so.
The IT Project Manager would perform the following duties (including but not limited to) in regards to the Telecommunications Transition:
• Review all information received from the OA TMO
• Monitor the Collaboration Site for additional information/responses
• Monitor the OA Risks, Action Items, and Decisions (RAID) Log to ensure agency compliance with any mitigation/direction
• Manage all communications with IT clients to ensure stakeholder awareness and cooperation
• Maintain a IT specific RAID to ensure effective transition
• Participate in project status meetings with IT and OA TMO
• Provide input into bi-weekly status to IT executives
• Advise technical leads on effective quality assurance techniques both in transition preparation and execution
This engagement will be comprised of 37.5-hour work weeks. Some travel within Pennsylvania should be expected.
