PROJECT MANAGER DATA PROCESSING (M31)

Before the executive branch consolidated its technology, each department ran a data processing shop of its own, and a project manager led one system build from specification through to running code.

Most of that work moved to the Office of Information Technology once shared services were put on a statutory footing. The title stayed in the Commission's list as a competitive one with nothing published behind it.
