About the PMO

The SIU Project Management Office

The Project Management Office (PMO) at SIU is part of the Office of Information Technology. The PMO was established to develop standards and methods to move technology projects from inception to completion as efficiently as possible. As part of this effort, the PMO delineates reasonable goals for projects and then manages teams and efforts to meet the stated expectations. Our team has been involved in the largest technology initiatives on campus, and provides support to other areas needing assistance with major projects.

Team Biographies

The Project Management Office looks beyond stated needs and expectations to create plans, organize efforts, and motivate teams to move toward optimal results.

Our mission is to manage projects efficiently and effectively in support of the University’s mission. All of our efforts are aimed toward the benefit of the organization. Change is always met with resistance; through communication and thoughtful planning we engage users, encourage adoption, and meet resistance with understanding and reason. Change is disruptive by nature; our goal is maximizing results while minimizing this disruption. Change is glorious when the pain and fear of “the unknown” are replaced with patience, information, knowledge, and leadership. Our aim in the PMO is results that are timely, anticipated, acceptable, and sometimes spectacular!
