IT governance ensures the effective and efficient use of IT resources and capabilities across U-M in order to meet the goals of the university. Advice and guidance are provided by strategic governance committees and multiple advisory groups. Michigan IT communities of practice (CoPs) are groups where like-minded IT professionals can share information, experiences, and ideas around a particular topic in support of the university’s missions.
Below is a summary of September and October 2020 Governance & CoP meetings, as well as upcoming meeting information. To learn more or to add an upcoming meeting to your calendar, visit the IT Governance web page or the IT CoP web page.
