• High-risk projects key to program
delivery
• $3.5B ~ 5 years
• Require prompt SSC support
• Two SSC projects
• Some issues:
• Competing priorities
• Project management
• Important departmental
projects
• Require SSC support
in short term
• Longer term view
• Require SSC support
in mid term
• All are not included
in departmental
annual IT plans

7. GC Integrated IT Planning: From
Reactive to Proactive
Today
Difficulties meeting departmental
program / project demands for new IT
infrastructure
No means to fully understand the
interdependencies and impacts of delays
or changes in timing
Future
Case-by-case approach to needs
assessment, priority setting and timing of
activities, e.g. onboarding / scheduling
Interdependencies and impacts of delays
are visible so that action can be taken to
minimize impacts
GC-wide integrated approach that looks
at enterprise needs as a whole and
facilitates priority setting and integrated
decision making
New IT infrastructure demands are
balanced with enterprise priorities and
capacity to deliver
