Information Technology-Enabled projects

Business Projects that are IT-Enabled have technological components such as a database, Web site, portal, intranet, application or business intelligence tool. Depending on the project size and/or complexity, project teams will choose to use either the National Project Management System (NPMS) « Full » version or the NPMS « Lite » version.

When and how does National Project Management System « Full » version and National Project Management System « Lite » version apply to Business Projects - IT-Enabled?

« Full » version applies to:

• a project that requires Treasury Board (TB) approvals
• a new solution project with an estimated cost over $1 Million
• a maintenance project with an estimated cost over $2 Million

« Lite » version applies to:

• a new solution project that does not meet any of the criteria above
• a maintenance project between $1M and $2M
• a maintenance project <$1M that meets certain exception criteria found in the Screening Tool
