Requests are Submitted to the Change Advisory Committee

The EITG Change Advisory Committee accepts completed Project Requests from stakeholders and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) in SPPS. They will review the Requests and may ask for more information or for the requestors to come to a meeting to present on their Request. 

Once the Change Advisory Committee has the information necessary to score the Request, it will use a rubric to determine if the project should be move forward to the district Senior Executive Leadership Team (SELT) in March of each year. One of the processes the the Change Advisory Committe oversees is the determination of whether a Project Request requires a consideration by the SELT. Some projects are more easily completed and may not need a complicated budget or resource workflow. These projects can be scheduled and complted without being moved on to the SELT. 

The Change Advisory Committee is about facilitating the Change/Release process, which means to say that it is about determining which Requests can be easily accomodated and moved to completion and which Requests need further consideration and budget/resource allocations.
