Project Management Practices
Background
In February 2000, DIR released the Internal Quality Assurance Guidelines, also referred to as Model Quality Assurance Guidelines, for state agencies to use in developing their own internal quality assurance procedures as required by TAC §201.19 . TAC §201.19 was repealed based on amendment of TGC § 2054.153 in House Bill 1789 (80 th Legislature Regular Session). TAC §216, in response to HB 1789 and adopted by DIR in October, 2007, clarifies statewide requirements for agency management of technology projects.
Guidance
Each state agency and higher education institution will satisfy the statewide requirements for project management practices as identified in TAC §216. These requirements address policy, specific criteria, and standards.
Project management practices include project management methodologies in use by state agencies. DIR has collaborated with many agencies to identify a set of project management methodologies as an integral component of the Statewide Project Delivery program. Agency PM Methodologies reflect a variety of models that satisfy, to varying extents, specific criteria identified in TAC §216 which are consistent with current industry best practices.
Project management practices also include a project classification method as identified in TAC §216. State agencies may use the project classification method developed by DIR, the agency, or another source.
