Project
Investment and Justification (PIJ)
For
GITA approval or disapproval, the individual agencies have the responsibility
for developing the business case for each of their projects. The Project
and Investment Justification (PIJ) document provides the agency a
standardized method to report new or enhanced IT projects and investments. The
document is structured to report meaningful business and technical requirements,
value to the public, costs, scope, risks and information on the agency’s
management and technical skills.
IT
projects greater than $25,000 require the preparation of a PIJ. Projects with
development costs greater than $1 million, and other major or critical projects,
are reviewed by the Information Technology Authorization Committee (ITAC) and
must be approved before any money may be expended. Other PIJ projects must be
approved by GITA before agencies may undertake, or commit to, any project
expenditures. The budget offices will not authorize funding for projects without
GITA or ITAC approval.
