Requirement Description: short description on what they will be working on, objectives, and tasks/deliverables

The Department of Administrative Services, Office of Information Technology, Project Success Center (PSC) (the Enterprise Project Management Office) is seeking assistance from a project manager to assist with developing and documenting a portfolio management practice leveraging Decision Lens as the cloud solution. Then rolling out the practice to State of Ohio agencies. This work will be at the direction of the assigned state project manager and PSC manager.
Additionally, PSC is working to refresh their own Program and Project Management Practice. This involves updating practice documentation, updating or developing templates in the project management tool (WorkFront is the cloud provider). Additionally assisting in demonstrating the PSC practice to potential customers, rolling out the practice to new customers and assisting existing customers with new offerings and features. This work will be done at the direction of the PSC manager.
PSC is seeking a project manager to assist with these activities to leverage their knowledge of portfolio and project management practices. However, the PM will not be managing the work as a project manager (at least not as a primary role). The person will primarily be focused on practice development, documentation, training and assisting customers coming onto the practices.

Additional Submission Requirements If candidate is selected for an interview, PSC would like to see examples of practice documentation (process, templates, or training material) developed by the candidate. If the candidate cannot produce documentation due to business reasons with past employers/engagements. Then the candidate should bring a writing example, explaining how projects should be prioritized based on documented requirements (they should provide their own requirements in the writing example). The purpose of this request is to be able to assess their writing skills, style and ability to clearly and concisely describe a process.

PSC would like the option to extend the service after October if there is still a demand for these services.
