FastTrack Project Management Methodology

An Information Technology Services (ITS) project can be classified as FastTrack if it meets the following criteria:

• Estimated completion time greater than two business days (16 business hours) and less than two business weeks (80 business hours)
• Completion date within 30 days of the initiation date
• Project team is composed of resources from one area of ITS. The exception is the inclusion of database administrators (DBAs) as resources, as long as less than two hours of their time is required.

If a proposed project fails to meet the three criteria above, it will be performed under the Full Project Management Methodology.
