Project Investment Justification

The Project Investment Justification (PIJ) provides executive branch agencies, boards and commissions with a standardized method to describe new or enhanced IT projects and investments. Before beginning an IT project valued over $25,000, every agency is required to develop a PIJ. The PIJ provides an assessment of the business and technical requirements, public value and benefits to the state, costs, risks and management sponsorship of the project.

PIJ Review

A PIJ valued at less than one million dollars is reviewed by GITA and approved or disapproved by the State CIO. Any IT project valued over $1 million must be approved by the Information Technology Authorization Committee (ITAC). ITAC consists of public and private business and business IT leaders. The committee meets monthly to review IT projects and other Strategic IT issues as necessary.
