Program Management
New York City agencies work on a significant number of individual IT projects, many of which are interconnected.

Tech Assessments

It will also work as part of a front-end planning unit where new projects can be systematically reviewed in collaboration with project sponsors to further develop scope and ensure the budget is adequate for the task, limiting last-minute additions and changes, allowing project initiation to proceed sooner, with greater clarity, and with fewer obstacles later.
IT Governance & Policy

This team will also conduct field surveys and complete external research to identify best practices that could be replicated at OTI.
