N1 - Funding Information:
After PMG’s discussions, the group decides upon the strategic value of a given project proposal and forwards its recommendation to Cabinet. Cabinet then decides whether to approve the project. If a project is approved, Cabinet appoints a project sponsor. Some of the project proposals include requests for funding from a strategic initiatives fund—a pool of money set aside every year in the budgeting cycle to support strategic projects. If funds are requested, Cabinet will decide whether to provide funding for a project. During this process, Cabinet also will determine what level of funding to provide.

N2 - This article describes how the University of Arizona (UA) Libraries implemented a project management process to address the increasing need to be more efficient and effective in initiating and completing projects, and to manage the changing and complex nature of the Libraries' work. The Libraries identified the Brigham Young University (BYU) Project Planning and Management process as a method that would help the organization define, plan, execute, and complete its projects effectively and efficiently. An overview of the BYU project management method, as adapted and implemented by the UA Libraries, and a description of portfolio management, project management, product management, and roadmaps, are provided.
