Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a project?

In order to ensure good financial management of our work, new projects within Daptiv PPM must be requested by creating a Project Request.  Once the project request form has been completed and saved, it will be routed to the appropriate group to review based on your Directorate within IS&T.  You will be notified once your project has been reviewed and acted upon.
