Description of the requirement:

Regulatory Operations and Regional Branch would like to develop and establish a Project Management Framework to strengthen its governance and oversight by applying a rigorous project management approach across its portfolio of key priority projects to ensure the branch delivers on its commitment and meets its mandate.

Establishing such a framework brings numerous advantages to new organizations, it

• delivers on the desired outcomes of the given GoC and Departmental priorities and achieves regulatory excellence across the compliance and enforcement continuum;

• reports on progress to allow governance to make timely decisions regarding the direction of each initiative;

• quickly articulates risks associated with the delivery of each priority project; and,

• efficiently and effectively reports on planned and actual delivery for each project.

In addition, given the volume of work and number of forthcoming projects on the horizon due to many commitments made at the department level, RORB will increasingly require the expertise of project managers to support various RORB project leads under the new framework as they adopt project management tools, processes and templates to deliver on commitments.
