Agenda item

Report of the Town Clerk.

The Committee considered a report of the Town Clerk which proposed changes to the City’s approach to Project Management.

The Chairman noted that a further paper would be submitted in due course exploring the wider overview of all City Corporation projects.

With reference to the proposed Project Management strand of City Academy, it was urged that provision be included for specific training in IT project management, as these projects were often fundamentally different in nature to non-IT projects.

RESOLVED: That:-

1.      Approval be given to the new Projects Procedure set out in the report, including:

i)       a revised Gateway Process;

ii)      implementation of a Costed Risk Provision;

iii)     recommending to the Court of Common Council that future amendments to the Projects Procedure be delegated to the Policy and Resources Committee.

2.      The proposal for HR to develop a Project Management strand of City Academy (for enhancement of the City’s Project Management capability and capacity) be noted.
