Activity Information

IPMO Project Review

Description

The plans for a new project must be agreed upon with the organization's integrated program management office (IPMO). The plan must integrate with the plans for resource allocation and scheduling for the organization as a whole. A review is held to gain this agreement. This would normally happen as part of the regular weekly IPMO meeting.
