Program Management Team - PMT
Welcome to the Program Management Team Website
The Project Management Team (PMT) supports the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and projects approved by the University of Guelph’s Governance councils, including the Digital and Technology Advisory Council (DTAC), Capital Planning Committee (CPC) and Physical & Digital Infrastructure Committee (PDIC) and CTC.
