Working Group Committee Roles and Responsibilities 

• Each Working Group has a charter.
• The Working Group Committees review Value Propositions for newly proposed projects and provide feedback.
• The Working Group Committees may request that a Value Proposition be revised and resubmitted.
• They may also reject a Project Request because they determine that the university already has a solution that achieves the same goals and objectives as the proposed project.
• When the Working Group Committees believe that a project proposal will benefit the university, the members will vote to recommend the project to the IT Governance Committee (ITGC) for consideration and approval.
