University Project Management Office

Through structured delivery, governance, and capability-building, the University PMO helps UVM:

• Successfully execute strategic initiatives
• Realize measurable project benefits
• Build long-term organizational capacity

UPMO Mission

We organize and drive strategic projects to successful outcomes while helping the University realize and sustain the benefits of its investments. 

We achieve this by:

• Identifying, planning, and managing high-priority, high-impact, multi-stakeholder initiatives
• Facilitating change and improving processes across units
• Building standardized practices, tools, and capabilities across the institution

UPMO Services and Activities

The University PMO Service Catalog defines the suite of services provided to support the successful planning, prioritization, and delivery of initiatives across the University. We operate as a service-oriented partner, focusing on enabling, not owning, work across UVM.

Communities of Practice

The University PMO manages communities of practice to bring together colleagues from across the university to share knowledge, build relationships, solve common challenges, and advance more connected ways of working. They create opportunities for learning, collaboration, and practical application while helping strengthen institutional capability to advance UVM's strategic priorities.

The Organizational Change Management Community of Practice is helping colleagues build shared approaches, tools, and implementation strategies that support successful organizational change. The AI and Modern Work Community of Practice focuses on moving from learning to practical application of AI and modern work tools. Our Project Management Community of Practice helps strengthen project delivery capabilities, shares best practices, and builds connections across the university.  Email UPMO@uvm.edu if you are interested in participating.
