Product objectives
The product lines are a delivery function which ensure that critical business services are maintained and delivered across the college. The product lines work with and are dependent on other ICT functional areas to deliver an effective service. This also includes wider stakeholder engagement / management across faculties and departments.
The product portfolio includes an overview and description of both current and future products, as well as a product roadmap for change deliveries within the domain. The Product Lines each have a single product owner with a supportive team that consists of delivery managers, architects, testers, PSO support and a business relationship manager (BRM).
Core objectives for the Products team:
- Building a strong collaborative team with a shared clear vision and autonomy to make decisions within their product lines.
- Focus on ensuring service continuity by working with the Service Operations team, completing business risks around key priorities for the university.
- Given Imperial’s diverse user base, Jason believes ICT needs to grow its understanding of Imperial by working in partnership with stakeholders to deliver the outcomes required.
The Product lines are responsible for lifecycle management of all applications within their product lines and for business engagement with the faculties and departments.

Product lines work with the Technology Office to define road maps and are responsible for all change delivery, releases, and supporting processes. We are at the heart of delivering solutions that play a vital part in Imperial being world-class at research, teaching and learning.
