Project Management Plan for [Project Name]

1.0 Project Overview

1.1EXECUTIVE SUMMARYRATIONALE FOR the Project

Local Government Division (LGD) Budget Finance Bureau (BFB) currently assists 33 counties, 106 municipalities and nearly 300 special districts in the collecting, reporting and planning of all financial information related to their projects pursuant to statutory requirements of 6-6-2, NMSA 1978.

BFB’s current system is comprised of the use of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, email, and fax. When first established, the use of Excel met the needs of BFB; however, as time has progressed the number of local public bodies has grown and reporting requirements have grown and become more stringent, the need for an enterprise level solution is required.

The system in its current state has forms that cannot provide validation, can easily be manipulated by anyone, cannot validate that the appropriate personal are approving reports, and does not provide user authentication. BFB staff currently spend a considerable amount of time reviewing, validating, and approving financial data as it relates to budgets and financial reports.

The new enterprise level solution will not only address the aforementioned needs, but will also allow for the standardization of a chart of accounts for more detailed reporting which will in turn permit better reporting to senior management, legislative committees and members who are responsible for the approval of these critical funding decisions. Quicker response times by those entities as they can upload data in a “flat file” format using a secure authentication method. Implementation of a new system will also allow BFB analysts to dedicate more quality time toward evaluation and more meaningful oversight and prevention of financial deterioration.

The first phase of this project involves developing the three core modules:

  1. Annual budget capture
  2. Budget adjustment requests
  3. Financial reporting

The future phases of the project will include the ability for entities to upload data in a “flat file” format using a secure authentication method.

Failure to upgrade to and enterprise level database will result in maintaining existing security vulnerabilities to financial data, the high risk of data being lost or can be manipulated and improper reports being provided to senior management, legislative committees and members.

1.2 funding and sources
