SCOPE OF WORK

Industry Canada requires the services of up to five (5) experienced Project Managers to directly assist the Department’s business units in the successful delivery of their project initiatives.  We are looking for only one at this time.  Each Project Manager resource is required to manage one or multiple medium to large-scale, business-sponsored project(s).  

General Roles and Responsibilities
 
Roles and responsibilities for this resource include the following:
•	Responsible for the success of the project from initiation to closure. 
•	Has specific responsibility for achieving the entire defined project objectives within the costs, time and resources allocated. 
•	Responsible for the day-to-day management of the project as set out in the charter; e.g., detailed planning, resource planning, cost estimating, budgeting, scheduling, etc. 
•	Responsible for project stakeholder engagement (e.g. identifies key stakeholders and plans and executes the stakeholder engagement process).
•	Assembles the project team including subject matter experts and functional leads within the Department. 
•	Ensures the project’s scope and specifications are documented and understood by the project team. 
•	Manages and controls project scope changes while managing business sponsor expectations to ensure their satisfaction. Ensures timely completion of the project within the approved budget by comparing actual progress to a baseline plan, and identifies corrective actions. 
•	Engages in proactive continuous risk management to identify, analyze, plan, track, control and communicate project risks and their status to Steering Committee. 
•	Plans, organizes and directs the work of the Project Team (including sub-contractors) to implement the approved project plan and produce quality deliverables. 
•	Participates in project Stage-Gate Reviews as required.  Prepares materials for Stage-Gate Reviews as required.
•	Presents the Investment Board (IB), Project Domain Steering Committees (PDSCs) and Sector-Business Units with current stage accomplishments, plans and costs in order to acquire approval for the next project framework stage.
•	Provides regular project updates to Business Sponsor and other key stakeholders.
•	Understands implications of legislative changes to existing policy and business operations.  Provides recommendations on what consequential policy or operational adjustments need to be made.

For the purpose of this requirement, it is important to note that the roles and responsibilities of this resource differ from that of an IT Project Manager.  The IT Project Manager is a functional lead provided by the Chief Information Office (CIO) and is responsible for the success of the IT component of an IT related project.  The Project Manager requirement identified in this Statement of Work is responsible for the success of all project components and reports directly to the project’s Business Sponsor.
