The Project Charter provides the project manager and project team with permission to proceed with the work of the project, within the scope delineated in this document. The Project Charter should be the outcome of a number of documents that went into the pre-planning for the project, and in many cases the agency IT Plan, Business Case for appropriations, Federal funding requests and the like.
Project sponsors sign the Project Charter signifying that they have agreed to the governance structure for guiding the direction for the further planning of the project, discovery and defining the requirements, acquiring necessary resources, and within that context the statement of work for any related contracts including a contract for the Independent Validation and Verification.
The Project Charter is also the foundation for the creation of the project management plan, and much of the thinking and writing for this charter will be immediately usable for that project management plan.

The Project Charter is also used within the State of New Mexico IT Project Certification process as evidence of the project’s worthiness for the Initial Phase certification. The Initial Phase certification is especially critical to many state and agency projects because of its related release of the initial funds required for the project.
Initiation Phase funding is requested by an agency for use in developing project phases, developing Independent Verification and Validation (“IV&V”) plan and contract; address project review issues and/or to develop an overall project management plan. Note: Waiver of the IV&V requirement requires specific written approval by the Secretary of the DoIT. DoIT “Project Certification” Memorandum July 2, 2007
The Project Charter and the Request for Certification Form are meant to provide a comprehensive picture of the project’s intention and initial planning, that includes the project’s place in the context of the State of New Mexico’s IT Strategic Plan, Enterprise Architecture, and DoIT project oversight process. See “IT Project Oversight Process” Memorandum July 5th 2007 on the OCIO-DoIT web site.

The New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department’s (TRD) Property Tax Division (PTD) is responsible for administering the State’s “Ad Valorem” property tax programs. As defined in State statute, PTD’s supervisory duties are designed to support assessors to comply with various provisions of the Property Tax Code. The Division is unique in its business mission; on a national scale, there are no other State-level property tax authorities that perform the same functions: statewide property tax code compliance oversight, statewide tax administration for complex centrally assessed properties and assets, and statewide delinquent property title search and account resolution.
PTD has had challenges confirming that county officials maintain current and correct assessment metrics and comply with other sections of the Property Tax Code due to a lack of data and the analytical and reporting tools required to evaluate local assessment programs. PTD has also had difficulty providing the Department [TRD], county officials, and the legislature with comprehensive analysis of past and recent tax policy performance and modeling of proposed changes in the Property Tax Code. These challenges are a consequence of limitations in data collection, storage, and analytics. These conditions make it difficult for PTD to provide information products, reporting and analysis that could improve modeling and decision making processes at State and local levels.
Currently, PTD meets business obligations using internally developed documentation and forms, processes, and disconnected, static data collections created and maintained in desktop office suite applications. The intent of the modernization project is to migrate PTD’s business data and workflows to an enterprise system that enables its three bureaus, Appraisal, State Assessed, and Delinquent Properties, to meet legislative, statutory, and regulatory obligations using contemporary data and technology oriented interfaces and improved analytics, modeling, and reporting tools.
This project will result in a Division-wide business information environment that will enable PTD to collect and store relevant data and provide the capacity to analyze, report, and model program and policy performance. More importantly, PTD will be empowered to more effectively meet its statutory obligations to support the administration of the State’s ad valorem property tax programs.

The goals and intended outcomes of the PTD Business Modernization Project are well defined and well documented. The initiative was first explored in late 2009. At that time, the vision was to deploy a business intelligence system that would enable the Division to collect, load, store, report, and publish information products developed from historical and near real-time data relevant to PTD’s statutory obligations and objectives. A one-page business case and an RFI were drafted to begin developing a project justification. Due to unforeseen budget constraints the project research and exploration had to be postponed.
Motivated by the findings of an internal TRD study, in the spring of 2015 PTD began assessing existing practices across all three bureaus and considering opportunities to enhance operations. A Division gap/needs analysis study was recommended and the search for a vendor that could meet the project’s goals was launched in June, 2015. Again due to the unique nature of the Division’s statewide duties, finding a vendor with domain expertise in state property tax administration was challenging. Following a national search a vendor was selected, a scope of work defined, and a professional services contract awarded. The contract received final signatures early in September.
The scope of work for the PTD gap/needs analysis project is provided below.
“The Contractor shall perform the following work: Inventory, document, and assess existing PTD workflows, processes, reporting requirements, information systems, and data collections and sources, perform a gap/needs analysis which identifies operational efficiencies that may be gained through migration of existing data and practices to an enterprise information system (EIS), draft and deliver an “Existing Business Process Report” and a “Recommendations Report” which includes a data, workflow, and process migration plan.”
The two reports delivered through this professional services contract have been well received and highly regarded by PTD and the TRD Information Technology Division (ITD). A description of each report is provided below.
“Existing Processes Report: New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department-Property Tax Division”
This report documents the organizational structure and existing staffing, processes, workflows, data sources, and business process timelines for each of the Division’s three bureaus. The research and discovery process consisted of a thorough review of available department literature, State statutes, and surveys, conference calls, and multiple on-site meeting with Department and Division leadership, administrators, and key bureau personnel.
“Proposed Processes Report: New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department-Property Tax Division”
As derived from the research and discovery completed in the existing processes study, this report identifies and documents the specific needs to optimize staff time, increase transparency, and provide enhanced work products for PTD and New Mexico county assessors. The report proposes and defines automated workflows and processes designed to reduce clerical workloads
PROJECT CHARTER PROPERTY TAX DIVISION BUSINESS MODERNIZATION 3

and allow specialized PTD staff to focus on the administration of business personal property tax, management of delinquent property tax collections and auctions, and support fair and equitable county valuation and assessment. High-level summaries of the proposed processes for each bureau are included.
Running concurrently alongside the gap/needs analysis study described above, PTD and ITD launched an effort to justify an investment in a Division-wide business and operations modernization. The first step was to draft and submit a one-page business case. A “FY17 One Page Business Case” entitled “PTD Business Modernization” was submitted in July, 2015. This led to a full business case that was included as “Appendix B” in TRD’s “Fiscal Year 2017 New Mexico Taxation and Revenue IT Plan, September 1, 2015.”
After submitting the FY17 TRD IT Plan, the effort pivoted to preparing a Computer System Enhancement Fund (CSEF, aka C2) request in advance of the 2016 legislative session. The PTD Modernization Project team, which included TRD’s Deputy Cabinet Secretary and CIO, PTD’s Director and Deputy Director, and the ITD Project Manager, presented the justification for legislative funding approval to the DoIT CSEF panel on October 16, 2015. The CSEF panel supported the justification and DoIT successfully navigated the request through the 2016 legislative session. TRD’s Property Tax Division was provided legislative authority to allocate $2,000,000.00 from internal funding sources to move forward with the business modernization project.

The Department of Information Technology certification process is built around a series of certification gates: Initiation, Planning, Implementation and Closeout. Each of these phases/gates has a set of expected documents associated with it. The gates and the associated documents make up the certification methodology.
