The IT Capital Review Board (ITCRB) serves at the pleasure of the University's Executive Vice President (EVP). Chaired by the Vice President and University Chief Information Officer (VP/UCIO), the ITCRB is composed of a representative group of senior leaders from across the University, including vice presidents, vice provosts, and administrative deans in the schools. The ITCRB has the purview over the multi-year outlook and priorities for the ITCRB fund which includes contributions from Harvard’s Central Administration (CADM) and the schools and units. The ITCRB meets throughout the year to review multi-year technology plans (MYTP) and project funding requests. As part of project review, the Board uses a Harvard-wide lens to balance risks, priorities, benefits, and tradeoffs and prepares funding recommendations for the EVP. At its discretion, the ITCRB also reviews project updates and status reports as well as project close-out reports for completed projects. The ITCRB provides annual summary reports to the Deans, the AD Deans, the FIN Deans, and the CIO Council. The Small Ask Subcommittee reviews projects in the Small Ask pool.
The Harvard University Office of Technology Strategy and Planning (OTSP) administers the process, staffs the ITCRB, and provides assistance to project managers and sponsors about the process and funding.
