Support service for the university’s significant IT projects.
The IT project support service is intended for supporting important information technology projects within the University.
- University of Helsinki’s project management model: The IT Center supports IT projects in the use of the project management model. The University of Helsinki’s project management model provides a framework that describes how an individual project should be managed at the University, starting from the project idea until post-project assessments, as well as how the project portfolio of the various parts of the organisation is managed.
